golgi apparatus
n=5
a: Golgi apparatus ~
b: post office
What: "In a way the golgi apparatus is like the post office because they have to sort of the packages that were given to them by the people (or in the cell's case the ER). After recieving the packages, they have to rearrange them and make sure that the letters get to their appropiate address or destination."

The Final Touch?
a: Golgi apparatus ~
b: seniors and teacher in high school
What: "The Golgi Apparatus is like the seniors and the teachers of a high school." Another association from another time would be finishing school.

a: Golgi apparatus ~
b: a commercial hub
What: "Just as the endoplasmic reticulum is the workshop of the cell the Golgi apparatus is like a commercial hub which acts both as a sorting, packaging, shipping and receiving area with a little manufacture on the side."

a: Golgi apparatus ~
b: sugar coating factory for proteins
What: Yes, it's like a postal hub that routes proteins to the outside of the cell. How does the routing occur? Within the Golgi, proteins made by the cell are glycosylated; sugars are added to them. They become glycoproteins. These sugars bond to and therefore label these proteins. They have been given a sugar-tag with specific instructions. What does the sugar-tag say to the cell? In many cases the message is " secrete me".

Baggage Tags
a: Golgi apparatus ~
b: a room to add baggage tags
What: The Golgi labels protein with sugars so that the cell knows where to transport them. The process is similar to the airport destination tags put on luggage when flying. Luggage is labeled with a code that tells which airport it's supposed to go to. As it moves through the system, the baggage handlers, both men and machines, then know how to route a piece of baggage so that it arrives at its proper destination.

METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
