Choose one organelle or cellular structure and give a description, but do not identify it so your classmates can guess in their responses. Make sure you explain your chosen structure in enough detail (at least two sentences) that others can figure out what you are pretending to be. Check back through the unit and make a guess on your classmates’ posts.
2. Find some current research involving stem cells and briefly describe how they are being used.

o Who did they come from? What is the backstory?
o Why they are considered immortal.
