 * In an effort to provide people with an experience that many would believe to be unfathomable, Apple has created a device with the amazing capability to shrink objects, including humans, down to sizes smaller than 10 micro meters and now wishes to share this technology with the world. After much deliberation, Apple has decided to team up with [|Intrepid Travel], a company who claims that they are right for anyone who desires to "get off the beaten track". The team wants to create the ultimate experience in travel for their customer, a tour through a living cell! In order to ensure that their customers will be truly satisfied on this educational and exciting adventure, Intrepid Travel has created a contest which allows any scientist who is willing and able to develop a guided tour of the inside of the cell. Your task, as a team, is to create a guided tour of the cell, for the Intrepid Travel web site, that will get all future customers excited about this new travel destination and opportunity. You will need to point out and explain the different parts of the cell and their function as well as at least two processes that occur in the cell in a way that all tourists will understand and appreciate. If your team is selected as the contest winners, your tour will be used by the Intrepid Travel in all of their promotional materials bringing fame and fortune to your research company. In addition each member of your team will receive 10% of the total earning Intrepid Travel receives as a result of this new opportunity! ||
