Using the following websites you are to complete the following assignment. [] [] [] [] [] [|http://library.thinkquest.org/c004535/basics.html] You are a scientist working on a new Cancer Treatment. This exciting new treatment is an altered cell that is inserted into the patient and can release the medication in a controlled manner; this will hopefully reduce some of the horrible side effects of traditional cancer treatment. A few problems arise while you are developing your treatment and you need to redesign the cell that you are presently using. One of the biggest problems is that the original cell is too large. You decide that reducing the number of organelles would reduce the overall size of your cell. However, your new cell must be able to maintain all its life functions. ** Your objective is to design a new cell. ** Your cell must contain between 5-7 organelles. You may use organelles from either plant or animal cells. 1) To begin you work you need to identify and define the major organelles of both plant and animal cells- individual work. 2) Then rank the organelles in order of importance- individual work. 3) Using this organelle ranking you will design your new cell. (Remember the cell **MUST** be able to sustain life on its own.) 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!!! **
