Eukaryotic Organelle Analogy

Comparing the complex parts of a cell (organelles) to the parts of some other familiar idea is a useful way to understand a cell. Creating these analogies can be difficult, but it's far better than taking a test on them. More importantly you're more likely to remember what the organelles do if we study them this way.


Here's a video of a Harry Potter analogy.

Feel free to search the internet for inspiration that make sense to you, but beware of simply copying & pasting them. Just because it's on the internet doesn't mean it's good. Also many analogies will include complex functions and organelles that you won't learn about until high school. You'll have to adapt what you find to your needs.
