Co-Op Science: Marcus had to write a short conversation between 2 organelles within the same cell.
Vacuole: What fashionable blobs you have along your side!
Mitochondria: Why, thank you! I quite like the hole down your back. What’s it for?
Vacuole: It’s for allowing in food and chemicals to enter. I’m in the storage business.
Mitochondria: What do you have in there right now?
Vacuole: Let’s see… Ok, I have some proteins, nutrients, water, and quite a bit of enzymes. What do those blobs along your side do?
Mitochondria: Oh, that’s where ATP is produced and broken down again, making energy for the cell we live in. Have you heard how gargantuan you vacuoles are in a plant cell?
Vacuole: I most certainly have! I wonder what they need all that storage for?
Mitochondria: Probably to store all that extra photosynthesite the plant cell needs.
Vacuole: What it that Golgi body over there shoving around again?
Mitochondria: Nutrients to help the cell next to us. It looks pretty tired!
Vacuole: It quite likely is; that load looks heavy. Look, here comes a chemical signal. What does he have to say now? I do not think it’s good news.
Chemical signal: Orders of the His Majesty the Nucleus! The mitochondria has to work overtime to produce extra ATP. Please proceed immediately!
Mitochondria: That was a pleasant conversation! I look forwards to speaking with you again, but right now, I have to get working!
He also had to make a edible cell. He was very excited by this. He planned it, created a shopping list for me, and prepared it.
