Group+1

Working in groups of four (4), you will need to draw your new cell, label and give a short explanation as to how each of the organelles will be able to **support life** and be successful to your medication. The drawing should be on a piece of plain white paper that is at least 8.5” x 11” or it can be draw on a computer. It must be easy to understand and aesthetically pleasing. **Extra credit of 10 points will be given for a comprehensive 3-D model.** You must be prepared to present your cell to the board of directors.


 * GOOD LUCK!!! **

The **nucleus** is crucial because it serves as the cells’ “brain” and stores DNA. The nucleus of our cell is a necessary element because it helps the organelles carry out the activities needed to kill the cancer cells. Without it, the cell would not work correctly.

The **mitochondria** is necessary because it provides the energy so, in part, the cell can go about essential activities to survive. Without the mitochondria, the cell would not be able to perform and battle the cancer cells, let alone function.


 * Ribosomes** are necessary because they are essential packets of RNA and protein that play an important role in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. The ribosomes in our cell provide the protein that would essentially kill the cancer cells. They would function as antibodies and bind to the virus and bacteria. This would help protect the patient's body. Also, the proteins would function as enzymes to release chemical reactions to help cure the cancer.

The **golgi apparatu**s is necessary because it is essential for transporting micro-molecules elsewhere within the cell. The golgi apparatus is very important for cell division and it is an independently working organelle. It modifies and sorts cell products and so, it delivers and transports the critical elements needed to fight the cancer cells. Since it works individually, it must keep pace with the rest of the cell when it divides.

The **cell membrane** is necessary because it provides and maintains the shape of the cell and serves as the protective barrier. With the cell membrane, our cell is sturdy and strong enough to fight the cancer cells. Without this important part, our cell would be too weak and the cancer could destroy it.
