I chose this picture because it is a water balloon and it holds water just like a vacuole. This is a good analogy because the water balloon is filled with fluid like a vacuole, and they both have a membrane. This is a bad analogy because water balloons cannot let water in while vacuoles can.

I chose this picture because like the cytoplasm Jell-O is a gel like substance that can hold other skin's place. This is a good analogy because both cytoplasm and Jell-O are gel like substances and they both can hold stuff in place. This is a bad analogy because cytoplasm can easily dissolve waste but Jell-O does not.

They turn sunlight into sugars for other organelles to use. I chose this image because it represents the functions of a nuclear power plant and how it generates energy for a city to use, just like how chloroplasts generate sugars for a cell to use. This is a good analogy because they both generate energy need for something bigger, ex. city, cell. This is a bad analogy because nuclear power plants can recycle the water they use but chloroplasts must keep absorbing sunlight.

It serves as a transportation zone for proteins. I chose this picture of a highway because it represents the traveling of proteins. The humans being the proteins, the cars being the transporting part of the ER, and the highway mapping out the route for where the protein needs to go. This is a good analogy because highways and ER both transport a specific thing. This is a bad analogy because only rough ER does this, smooth ER helps metabolism.

It allows things in, dumps things out. I chose this picture of the human skin because the skin is like the cell membrane. This is a good analogy because like the cell membrane, skin can absorb some materials and secrete waste. It also protects the inside organs like the cell membrane protects the organelles. This is a bad analogy because skin has three layers while cell membrane has only one layer.

I chose this image because the large intestine and the Golgi apparatus both secrete waste. This is a good analogy because the large intestine also transports waste to the colon where it is secreted, where the Golgi also transports waste and secretes it. This is a bad analogy because the large intestine does not sort or package waste like the Golgi Apparatus. The large intestine instead drains out water.
