Cell Factory Analogy: Unpacking the Roles of Organelles

The video uses a factory analogy to explain cell components and their functions. The cell membrane is likened to factory walls, protecting the cell. The nucleus is the boss, controlling activities. Mitochondria are the power stations, providing energy. Ribosomes are workers producing proteins. The endoplasmic reticulum is the hallway for transport, while Golgi bodies are the packaging department. Vacuoles store products, and lysosomes dispose of waste. The cytoplasm is the factory floor, containing all organelles.
