Question

In a city there are different sections like administration, transportation, waste management, etc.  Organelles in a cell can be compared to different sections of a city performing different functions.  Use the descriptions below to match the function to the organelle that does a similar function in a city.
1. Comparable to "City Hall or Town Hall" of a city where policy makers discuss, decide, and formulate laws for governance of the city.
a. endoplasmic reticulum
b. golgi apparatus
c. lysosome
d. nucleus
e. cell membrane
f. vesicles
g. vacuoles
h. mitochondrion
I. cell wall
j. ribosomes
k. cytoplasm

GPT-4o mini · Answer

The correct answer is: **d. nucleus** The nucleus of a cell functions similarly to "City Hall or Town Hall" because it is the control center of the cell where decisions are made and the genetic material (DNA) is housed, guiding the activities and functions of the cell, much like policy makers govern the city.
