A cell can be compared to the International Space station because both require smaller structures that have their own jobs, interwoven within itself to properly function

A cell is like the International Space Station

Chloroplast

1st organelle

The chloroplast, in a plants cell, main function is to conduct photosynthesis, absorbing sunlight, producing energy. This can be compared to the Photovoltaic Array which absorbs the suns natural rays also producing energy within the station.

Plasma Membrane

The primary function of the Plasma Membrane in a plant cell is to protect the cell from its surroundings. Knowing this a plasma membrane is like the ISS Zarya Metallic Heat shield coating and air lock, which protects the nucleus and allows for only select substances to enter.

2nd organelle

Nucleus

The Nucleus stores the cells hereditary materials and coordinates the cells activities. In this case the ISS Zarya control module is like the nucleus because the module gives orders and holds scheduling plans for the whole station.

3rd organelle

Lysosomes

Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes that digest excess or worn out organelles, food particles and engulf viruses. The ISS waste disposal facilities get rid of unnecessary waste, like the lysosomes, the waste disposal facilities consume the excess materials harmful and unnecessary to the rest of the station.

4th organelle

Ribosome

5th organelle

A ribosome main function within a plant cell structure is to produce proteins. For the ISS the ribosome could likely be the Engineering Bay or research module, which fixes, helps and builds parts of the system within the station and conduct research.

Golgi Apparatus

6th organelle

The function of the Golgi Apparatus is to modify, sort and pack proteins for secretion, transporting lipids. The ISS Docking Station and detachable spacecraft transports items like the lipids out of the system.

Mitochondria

The Mitochondria returns energy taken from food into energy for the cell to use, in the International Space Station, the Power Generators is the power house of the space station creating, like the Mitochondria in a plant cell, energy for the Space station to then use and the people within.

7th organelle

Vacuole/Vesicle

8th organelle

The vacuole and vesicle sore valuable water in a plant cell, while also isolating harmful materials. Like how the vacuole/vesicle stores important water which is detrimental in order for the cell to function, the life support and food storage module on the ISS stores the food and water for the people within the craft, allowing for them to live (function).

Nucleolus

9th organelle

The nucleolus found in the middle of the nucleus rewrites ribonucleic acids (RNA) and combines it with proteins. In this case the Intercom/Communications allows for communication between the "nucleolus" and other parts of the cell somewhat like the control, giving orders, however this happens throughout the whole ship.

Cell Wall

10th organelle

The cell walls function focuses around giving the cell its strength and structure, by filtering molecules that pass both in and out of the cell. For the International Space Station, the metallic heat shielding coating encompassing the entire ship or the walls that separate rooms and other areas, are the protection for the people within and these structures help keep the ISS's shape.

Cytoplasm

The cytoplasm allows movement of substances within the cell through cytoplasmic streaming. The ISS version of the cytoplasm could be considered to be the Balanced gas composition, which allows for a habitable environment on board and which contains the system parts.

11th organelle

Cytoskeleton

The cytoskeleton gives the a cell its shape and offers support, while facilitating movement. This could be compared to the internal walls, hallways, and infrastructure throughout the ISS. These barriers reinforce the ships shape and provides assistance in movement on board.

12th organelle

Cilia/Flagella

The cilia and the flagella move liquid past the surface of the cell enabling them to swim. The cilia and flagella are like the air jets, which allow for movement. The flagella more closely resembles the detached rockets or the crew return vehicle that brings "liquid" (humans/materials)and is used solely for transportation.

13th organelle

The rough and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum

14th organelle

The rough E.R is called rough because if the numerous ribosomes on it and is involved with the protein production, protein folding, quality control and dispatch. While the smooth E.R is associated with the production and metabolism of fats and steroid hormones.

The rough E.R and the smooth E.R could be compared to the power and thermal control sector, which distributes power and hosts the engineering bay. The smooth E.R would be located by the docking compartment and universal docking module as it transfers "production" materials that can be compared to lipids.
