The Eukaryotic and the Prokaryotic cells differ in a variety of ways. Although Prokaryotes may be more protected since they must survive in hostile environments, the Eukaryotic is in fact more desenvolved in terms of organelles.
I would choose to be an Animal cell because I do not rely as much on solar energy or photosynthesis. I am able to transfer information inside myself through my DNA and Plasmids. Although the plant cell and the animal cell have much in common in termsof organelles, the animal cell contains the Cilia (which is used for movement), Lysosomes (which are responsible for digestion of wastes) and contain various small vacuoles.
Plant cells are effecient when it comes to self-feeding *by the chloroplast* and more protection *due to cell wall*, but there are some important aspects that are absent in its body.

Chloroplast Speech
By being the Chloroplast, I play an important role in the consumption of energy and production of photosynthesis. Without me in the cell, my fellow companion the Mitochondria would not be able to break down the energy molecules I'd give to it. We work as a team, it depends on me, I depend on it. Despite the fact that I play an important part in the whole energy tab of the cell, I also produce the complex situation where leaves become green called PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Although many of you may think that photosynthesis is only related to the color, other animals also depend on this. We are not only essential to ourselves but to the entire ecosystem.
Do not throw me out of this boat, you will regret staying your lives without solar energy and photosynthesis.

Yellow Team Nutrition Project
The yellow team first started off by dividing the work equally between the team members. Each of us were given task to accomplish and in this case I had to decifer menu 2 and state the quantity of nutrients it contained along with Arthur. Along the process of decoding the menu, I discovered that too much protein CAN damage your kidney and that in every weight-loss diet you must have the nutrients necessary for your body to function correctly; in other words, you can't simply not eat at all and wait for your body to start using your lipids. This project contributed to my scientific knowledge by teaching me the importance of nutrients in diets and how to analyze a 7 day schedule of food in terms of rich or poor nutrition involved. It was good to work as a team because we all depended on each other. What happened over here mattered over there. The organization was an essential keypoint to our success in achieving our goals.

“What was the purpose of these first two days of school and what are my plans for this year?”
The first two days, besides being able to set back into school mode and get ourselves into the daily routine or school after weeks of vacation, were to challenge our rusted minds. The spaghetti and marshmellow activity had us working in teams, exercising the IMPROVISATION, SKILL and TEAM WORK.
