Drawing Conclusions: At then end of the bus tour, your tour guides make several
conclusions. In your own words, write how making analogies to a city has helped you
better understand how cells work and the specific functions of each cell structure
or organelle. Then think of any other type of analogy you can make to help you
better understand the cell structure and function? Explain.
