JudyThe cell membrane can be compared to a fence around a house. Just as a fence regulates what enters and exits the property, the cell membrane controls what substances come in and out of the cell. Additionally, like a fence, the cell membrane provides protection and support for the cell.

What is a good analogy for cell wall?
It could be a gate. It is a gate because the door is the cell membrane. See you need to get past the cell wall before the cell membrane.
What is a cell city analogy for plasma membrane?
In a cell city analogy, the plasma membrane can be compared to the city walls as it surrounds and protects the cell, controlling what enters and exits the cell. Just like city walls, the plasma membrane also helps maintain the cell's shape and provides structural support.
What is a school analogy for cell membrane?
The cell membrane in a school analogy can be compared to the school's security system, controlling what enters and exits the school to maintain a safe and regulated environment. Just like how the cell membrane regulates the passage of molecules in and out of the cell to maintain cellular balance and function.
What is a good analogy for cell membrane?
You could use lots of analogies. Cell membranes keep the traffic of things going on in the cell. It also keeps stuff in or out. You could say it works like screen a door. Perhaps a better analogy is that the cell membrane is like a border (between countries). The cell membrane (much like the border guards) control the traffic in and out of the cell. A fun answer could be to compare it to a Club bouncer, that allows certain people in and blocks the entrance of others. Another analogy for a cell membrane is that it is like a sieve. That is because it lets smaller particles (like water) in, while stopping bigger particles that could cause the cell harm out.
What would be the cell membrane of a computer?
In a computer, the closest analogy to a cell membrane would be the firewall or security software that acts as a barrier between the internal system and external threats, regulating the flow of data in and out of the computer.
