Hotel Cell Analogy
If a hotel was a plant cell the following analogies would be correct:
The outside of the hotel would be the cell wall because the cell wall protects the inside cell. This is similar to the outside of the hotel because the exterior of the hotel protects its interior.
The mitochondria of the hotel would be the restaurant because the mitochondria makes energy for the cell and transfers it. The restaurant makes food for the hotel and then brings to the rest of the hotel just like the mitochondria does.
The chloroplasts in the hotel would be the kitchen because the chloroplast make the food for the cell. The kitchen makes food for the guests so it is similar to the chloroplast.
The vacuole of the hotel would be an ice vending machine because the vacuole of a cell stores water and other nutrients. The ice vending machine relates to the vacuole because the ice vending machine stores water just like the vacuole.
The lysosome of the hotel would be the large dumpsters outside of the hotel because the lysosomes digest and contain wastes. The large dumpsters store wastes just like the lysosomes do.
The hallways in the hotel would be the cytoplasm because the cytoplasm in a cell surrounds all the organelles in the cell. The hallways surround the hotel rooms just like cytoplasm does in a cell.
The golgi apparatus in the hotel would be the postal service area of the hotel because the golgi apparatus is the packaging and shipping area of a cell. The postal service area packages and ships things also.
The nucleolus of the cell would be the manager of the hotel because the nucleolus controls everything happening in the cell and it contains hereditary information. The manager controls everything going on inside the hotel and he has important information on the hotel just like the nucleolus does for the cell.
The nucleus of the hotel would be the office of the manager because the nucleus contains or houses the nucleolus. The office of the manager is where the manager stays, just like the nucleolus stays in the nucleus.
The cytoskeleton of the hotel would be the frame of the hotel because the cytoskeleton provides structure and support for the cell. The frame of the hotel keeps the hotel in shape and keeps it from collapsing.
The cell membrane of the hotel would be the sliding doors that lead into the hotel because the cell membrane controls what goes into and out of the cell. The sliding doors let people in and out of the hotel, as does the cell membrane does for the cell.
The ribosomes of the hotel would be the chefs because ribosomes provide protein for the cell. The chefs provide food for the hotel, just like the ribosomes provide protein for the cell.
