The wall of a cell is much like the shielded walls of the International Space Station in the sense that they both protect their insides.
The cell membrane and airlock both offer protection and monitor what enters and exits the inside of the structure.
Both the nucleus of a cell and the crew of the International Space Station manage the activities of it's own structure.
The International Space Station has multiple levels of protection for its crew, and the 2nd level of protection is much like the separate membrane for the nucleus of the cell.
The nucleolus is much like the science module on the ISS because the nucleolus makes ribosomes and ribosomes make proteins. If on the space station science experiments are proteins, then scientists are the ribosomes and the science module is where they spend their time.
Cytoplasm within a cell is much like just regular oxygen in the space station mostly because it just takes up the entire inside of the structure.
The solar panels attached to the ISS convert sunlight into energy for the station much like chloroplasts convert sunlight into chemical energy for the plant.
The ISS has large rechargeable batteries to power the station while it is behind the earth. These are like mitochondria which also make energy when the chloroplasts don't have any sunlight to work.
The dynamic o-ring is not alike the central vacuole in a sense of being a large part of the cell and being used for storage; however, it does play a huge role in structural integrity. The o-ring is a big part of what keeps the air from the station from leaking which could eventually damage the structural integrity of the station.
Ribosomes and scientists are all around the structure they live in and just like ribosomes are made in the nucleolus the scientists on the space station work in the science module conducting experiments.
The smooth endoplasmic reticulum creates mainly lipids as well as some hormones and on the ISS the oxygen generation system generates oxygen for the astronauts by breaking apart water.
The Golgi apparatus prepares proteins and fats to leave the cell just like the airlock pressurization system prepares astronauts to exit the station for a space walk.
