A Mammal's Cells

A mammal's cell's unbound by walls. It is more changeable than pretty.
In that way, as in others, it's just like a modern city.
Its nucleus is City Hall, abuzz in plans, administration.
It depends on mitochondria for power generation.
Miscellanea sit in vacuoles, life's self-storage units.
A manufacturing sector? Let the ribosomes do it.
The recycling, waste and sewer are a job for lysosomes,
and the endoplasmic reticula can stand in well for roads.
