Cell Project: Visitor Presentation/Sales Pitch
Imagine that every cell in an organismʼs body is competing
against each other for “visitors.” You have been hired by the cell
to produce a slide presentation highlighting some of the
wonderful attractions found inside. The cell that attracts the
most visitors wins a lifetime supply of glucose.
Your presentation must describe at least 10 attractions
(organelles/structures) that will interest visitors to come to your
cell. Be creative! You are trying to sell people on your cell! Make
them want to come visit.
