Detailed explanation-1: -The mitochondrion is the powerhouse of the cell. It is comparable to a power plant or a power station since it serves a similar function. It directly involves supplying energy for the cell in a process called cellular respiration.

Detailed explanation-2: -The mitochondria of a cell where energy (ATP) is creted through the breakdown of glucose (fuel) in a process known as cellular respiration. In a city, the powerplant would be similar to mitochondria because this is where electricity (energy) is made from fuel (coal) in a process known as combustion.

Detailed explanation-3: -The semipermeable membrane surrounding the cytoplasm of a cell. The Cell Membrane is like a City border because it controls what goes in and out of the city. The Nucleus is like the City Hall of the City because it controls most of the city by sending out information that it needs to function.

Detailed explanation-4: -Vacuole-Storage Units The vacuole stores things such as food just like storage units are used to hold the city’s things. The Chloroplast produces food for the cell just like a farmer produces food for the town or city.
