The Principals office is similar to the Nucleolus because, much like theNucleolus, the principals office Produces staff (Ribosomes) to

Move out and take positions in the Rough ER (school). They areVital in running the school and in protein synthesis.

Teachers are similar to Ribosomes because, much like RibosomesTeachers are the site of learning or protein synthesis in order to make

Students smart!

Buses are similar to the Rough ER because, much like theRough ER buses are responsible for taking synthesized proteins

(students) on the Ribosomes (school) collect in the ER for Transport around the cell (buses).

The Recycle bin is similar to the Smooth ER because,Much like the Smooth ER the recycle bin breaks down
