II. CELL CITY ANALOGY
The cell structures or organelles perform a variety of functions like production of proteins, storage of important
materials, harvesting energy, repairing cell parts, digestion of substances and maintaining the shape and
structure of the cell, among others. Since the organelles are compartmentalized, one system does not
interfere with the functions of other systems but their roles are interdependent.
Carefully read the paragraph below and answer the following exercises.
In a faraway city called the Light City, the main export and production product is the steel widget. Everyone
in the city has something to do with the steel widget making and the entire town is designed to build and
export widgets. The city hall has the instruction in widget making. Widgets come in all shapes and sizes and
any citizen of Light City can get the instructions and begin their own widgets. Widgets are generally produced
in small stores around the city. These small stores can be built by the construction engineer’s union
(whose headquarters are in the city hall). After the widget is constructed, they are placed on special carts
which can deliver the widget anywhere in the city. In order for a widget to be exported, the charts take the
widget to the postal office, where the widgets are packaged and labeled for export. Sometimes widgets don’t
turn out right, and the rejects are turned to the scrap yard where they are broken down for parts or destroyed
altogether. The city powers the widget shops and carts from hydraulic dam. The entire city is enclosed by a
large wooden fence. Only the postal trucks and citizens with proper documents are allowed inside the city.

Match the parts of the city (underlined) with the part of the cell.
