Question

You are in a boat out on the lake. Each part of the lake represents parts of the cell. The embankments represent the cell membrane, the boat is the nucleus, and the water would be the cytoplasm, what would the fish represent? Question 4 options: cell wall dna organelles none of the above question 5 (2 points)

Answer 1

The correct answer is option (C) organelles.

A cell is a structural and functional unit of living organisms. A typical cell has a cell boundary called the cell membrane or the plasma membrane, inside which the jelly like cytoplasm is present. The cell also has dense nucleus with genetic material inside it. The cytoplasm contains the different units of a cell called the cell organelles. They include the endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, lysosomes, ribosomes, mitochondria and other cell organelles. Thus, if each part of a lake represents parts of the cell, the embankments represent the cell membrane, the boat is the nucleus, water represents the cytoplasm, then the fishes inside the lake represents the cell organelles of the cell.

Answer 2

The lake and the boat are representing the cell with the water in the lake as cytoplasm, the embankments as the cell membrane, and the boat as the nucleus. In this case, the fishes present in the water of the lake will represent the different cell organelles, such as the mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, ribosomes etc. The cell organelles are present in the cytoplasm of the cell, and the fishes are present inside the water perfectly representing them.

Hence, the answer is 'cell organelles'.
