Organelle Project: 

Part 1:

Each class member will be assigned a particular organelle. You will investigate your organelle and create a resume for that organelle. The resume should indicate what the organelle does within the cell and what it looks like. The finished resumes will be used in part 2 of this project.

Part 2: Hiring Decisions

You will have access to six different folders. Each folder contains a description of a company and what it does and several resumes. Your job is to select the top two candidates that you feel the company should hire. For each candidate, you must explain why they are a good candidate for that company.
