Compare And Contrast Cell And Government

Cells and our government are alike in many ways, both are made up of smaller components which work together to maintain a stable environment. The organelles can be compared to parts of our government in the way they work together. The nucleus is the main organelle in the cell, it makes rna and contains dna, this is similar to congress because they make laws which is similar to rna. The golgi apparatus packages carbohydrates and proteins into vesicles and export them out of the cell. This can be compared to the U.S. postal service because they package thinks and send them out. Ribosomes have the function of translating rna into proteins which is like the legislative branch who are responsible for changing bills into laws. This process in similar
The rough endoplasmic reticulum transports things throughout the cell, and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum in a branch of the rough endoplasmic reticulum. These organelles can be compared to the transportation system such as a subway station because they both transport things. The flagella is what helps the cell move as a whole. This is similar to when Air Force One provides movement for the president when he needs to travel. Although the president represents the nucleus, when out on a trip the president usually represents the government as a whole and not as an individual. The long, string like organelle called the cilia acts as an antenna for the cell during its movements. This is similar to the FBI and the CIA which have to know everything that is going on in order to protect the government. Centrioles are small sets of microtubules and are always found in pairs, they move in opposite directions during cell division somewhat like the 2 senators in each state and can be from different houses which means they would separate like cell division on capitol hill. The cytoskeleton determines the shape of the cell kind of like capitol hill which is the framework for the government. It is where the
