Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If a cell was like a factory what organelle could be represented by the Shipping and Receiving Department?
A
Nucleus
B
Cell membrane
C
Lysosome
D
Endoplasmic reticulum
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -All eukaryotic cells are composed of a plasma membrane, a nucleus, and cytoplasm. These structures can be compared with a factory’s departments. The PLASMA MEMBRANE regulates what enters or leaves the cell. It is analogous to the shipping and receiving department of a factory.

Detailed explanation-2: -The specialized machines and assembly lines of the factory can be compared to the different organelles of the cell. Cells, like factories, follow instructions and produce products. In the same way that the main office controls a large factory, the nucleus is the control center of the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -The cytoplasm serves like a factory floor because it houses all the organelles and the cell activities. Ribosomes act like factory workers as they build the proteins inside the cell. In general, these organelles, together with the other cell structures work altogether and operate like a system.

Detailed explanation-4: -Today, scientists know that the endomembrane system includes the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Golgi apparatus, and lysosomes. Vesicles also allow the exchange of membrane components with a cell’s plasma membrane.

Detailed explanation-5: -Final answer: Ribosomes are known as the protein factory of the cell.
