Answer:
The cell is basically like a city because there are different parts of the cell that work together to keep a system running, therefore incredibly similar to a cell. There are parts to the cell such as the vacuole which acts as the storage for a cell, like the storeroom or bank in the city, and the lysosome which cleans up and recycles for the cell in away, acting as the recycle center or such for a city. Just like these few cell parts, there are many other parts which each have their respective "role" to functioning as a "city", and for those reasons a cell is like a city.
