Question

Your science teacher asks you to build a model of a cell. The model should look like a city, and buildings in the city should represent parts of a typical cell. Each building's real-life function should be like the function of the organelle it represents. For example, the vacuole of a cell, which stores water, could be a water tower in your cell city model.What building should represent the nucleus, and why?

A)
factory:manufacturing
B)
city hall:control center
C)
power plant:provides energy
D)
highways and streets:transportation

Answer 1

B) city hall

Step-by-step explanation:

I just did the USTP and got the answer correct.

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is B) city hall:control center.

As per the question, model of cell looks like a city where different buildings correspond to different organelles ( membrane bound subcellular compartments like nucleus, golgi complex, vacuole, endoplasmic reticulum).

Nucleus is a specialized membrane bound compartment that possesses the genetic material ( DNA) of the Eukaryotes ( like plants and animals).

Nucleus controls all the essential activities of the cell by regulating the expression of gene ( segment of DNA corresponding to a particular protein).

Therefore, in the model of cell, city hall;control center represents the nucleus of the cell.
