Membrane is to cell as skin is to human body. Vacuole It’s basically just a membrane that can stretch big time, waiting for something it can Big time water storage for plants, can also store food and waste. Vacuole is to cell as refrigerator is to house. Nucleus Controls cell operations, and contains all the genetic information for the entire organism Has DNA which is the key for its operations and heredity. Nucleus is to cell as brain is to human. Nucleolus Is found inside the nucleus, processes amino acids. Makes and sends out the two parts that make up a ribosome. Nucleolus is to cell as butcher is to meat department of a grocery store.
