Download If I Were the Most Important Cell Organelle…. For nearly 1.5 billion

If I Were the Most Important Cell Organelle….
For nearly 1.5 billion years, the nucleus has boasted its ability to direct cell activities. But now, all of the other cell
organelles have called for an “organelle election.” The organelles have hired you to organize and run their individual
election campaign including media and a speech. The winner will be crowned the cell’s “Most Important Organelle” and
receive a special prize.
