The cell can be compared to many things, from the extreme complexity of the universe to the painfully simple function of a room. To meet in the middle of the almost unimaginably complex and the mind numbingly simple, one could compare a cell to a car. Just like a cell a car has different parts that make it function to its fullest potential, there are a lot of different individual parts and pieces that work together to drive the vehicle forward. Each of these necessary parts can be compared to the basic function of the organelles in a Eukaryotic cell. The nucleus of a Eukaryotic cell is the largest organelle within the cell. It stores all of the information and dictates what the cell will do and how it will function. The nucleus essentially “knows” what tasks need to be done and has the blueprints to get said tasks done. The nucleus of the cell is like the diver of a car. The driver controls all of the main functions of the car, the accelerator and the brakes, all of the turn signals and the other miscellaneous buttons and knobs within the car itself.
