1. Mitochondria → Power plant (generates energy for the city)
2. Ribosomes → Factories (produce widgets/proteins)
3. Nucleus → City hall (controls operations and holds instructions)
4. Endoplasmic Reticulum → Assembly line or transportation network (moves materials/widgets)
5. Golgi Apparatus → Packaging and shipping center (modifies, sorts, and ships widgets)
6. Protein → Widget (the product made and shipped out)
7. Cell Membrane → City border/fence (controls what enters and exits)
8. Lysosomes → Recycling center or waste disposal (breaks down old/damaged widgets)
9. Nucleolus → Blueprint office (produces instructions/ribosomes for widget-making)
