ghetto cell
In the inner city of Euka lies a treacherous ghetto. Robert Downy Jr. plays RJ and will be trying to collect information from the ghetto. He was chosen for this part due to his amazing performance as a black man in the hit movie Tropic Thunder. He is dropped off in the inner city and will have to engage and befriend a gang. It was a tricky process trying to get into the ghetto due to the road blocks that cops have posted at to get into the ghetto. But eventually they let him in through a thorough search. He travels along the structure of the ghetto on all the roads. There are many territories that certain gangs occupy and control. Each territory/gang has a gang leader that leads the gang and makes all the decisions. RJ’s goal was to get to meet the leader and be trusted amongst the gang. The gang that RJ must contact is called the Chromosomes.
He is dropped of at the nearest KFC. He started eating, but was soon interrupted by a group of people. He felt like this would be a great opportunity to get into the gang. They masked him and threw him in a van and was transported to the gang leader to be interrogated. He had to answer each question as if his life depended on it. During the interrogation, a deafening blast went off across the street. The 7/11 was up in flames. The gang’s source of beverages and food was destroyed. Fortunately for them, the culprits of the bombing were caught and sent to jail. There was a barricade set up around the entire city so RJ decided to camp out at sugar mama’s house. It was hard to move around the city not just from the cops patrolling, but also there was a lot of construction going on. Finally the heat cooled down and RJ was able to move safely outside the house. Right when he steps out into the day air, RJ gets shot from the massive gang war going on.

Jon, Maddy, and Haley Cell Story
Nucleus- Gotham City Hall
Golgi Complex- Wayne Enterprises.
Centrioles-Subway Station.
Microtubules and microfilaments- Subway lines
Endoplasmic Reticulum- Gotham City General Hospital
Mitochondrion-County Jail
Peroxisomes- Warehouse basement
Vacuoles- Bat Cave
Lysosomes- Lucius Fox’s Lair
Cell wall-Gotham City limits
Plasma membrane- the bridges
Ribosomes-Police Station
Plastids-Alfred
It was a peaceful night in the Gotham City. A slight breeze came across the land, and the odor of the Joker was in the air. The citizens of Gotham knew whom they must call on, the noble vigilante, THE BATMAN! Gotham City is home to the greatest hero of all time. With his hand-in-hand cooperation with Gotham City Hall (the central information database of Gotham City), Batman is able to hunt down the joker, as he travels throughout the city. Very uncharacteristically of the Joker, he hopped on the subway as he tries to escape the Batman’s wrath. The subway lines go to the city limits where they stop when they reach the bridges. The city limits surrounds Gotham in order to protect it from invaders, while the bridges control who comes in and out of the city. In the meantime, Batman is back at the bat cave, where Alfred is feeding him a healthy protein shake and Lucius is stocking him up with all the greatest necessities. He then heads over to Wayne Enterprises where he picks up his new supplies. He locates the Joker in the warehouse basement where the mob is working with him to organize CRIME in the city. Batman, rushes in, the Joker offers a magic trick, and he seizes him using his bat sonar. The Batman then takes the Joker to the county jail to “make good” and continues on to the police station to talk to Lt. Gordon. Lt. Gordon notifies Batman of some small dog wounds on his right arm. In a fast attempt to repair himself, Bruce Wayne goes to Gotham City General Hospital and a nurse fixes him up. Just as he is leaving, the hospital blows up!!!!!! The Joker has struck again…DUN DUN DUN.

Graduation Time in Cell City
Graduation in Cell City
This is the story of graduation time in Cell City. As students at Cell City School (ribosomes) reach graduation (endoplasmic reticulum) time, they begin to realize that they must now find a career or job that they will hold for the rest of their life. Although their time under Principal Lipid (nucleoli) was fun, it is now time to move out into the world. They are the future generation of the city, making up an entire population (microfilaments) of their own. Some of the students will become the security guards around the town (cell wall), while others will become security within the city, or police officers (plasma membrane). Both of these occupations would deal with working with a jail (nuclear envelope). Another job may be working at the town hall (nucleus), or maybe at the library (chromosomes). Some may go on to be construction workers (intermediate filaments) that build the houses (microtubules) of the city which make up the neighborhoods (centrioles) which then ultimately lead to the city’s skyline (cytoskeleton). Other jobs available include working at the city power plant (mitochondria), working at the grocery store (vacuoles), working at McDonald’s (plastids), working at the local Kikkoman factory (golgi complex), and last but not least, working at the town dump (lysosomes). All of the graduates are excited to move out into the world. Some will remain in the city, while others may leave, but one things for sure – no one will ever forget the beautiful landscape of the trees (peroxisomes) and lakes (cilia, flagella) that made up their home town. Thank goodness they grew up in Cell City. Goodbye Cell City School, hello world!

Cell City Story
CELLULAND #847234
Once upon a time, there was a town called Celluland. In the center of Celluland, was an information center called the Nucleus. This was the place where everyone went to retrieve their brains.
There are an infinite number of Cellulands, and they are all alike. Surrounding the entire city was a massive wall that kept all the inhabitants in, like a prison. It also kept intruders out, as well as the huge Atlantic Ocean (aqueous environment).. While the wall kept people in, occasionally there were visitors who could come through the wall. They were helped in by Security Proteins, but they were very size and shape discriminatory.
A big business in the town is the Golgi Post Office. It modifies, sorts, and packages all the products made in Celluland, and then sends it out to all of the citizens. The people of Celluland are very environmentally conscious, and so there was Mitochondra Inc., which served the purpose of garbage composting. This compost produces energy to fuel the entire town!
There is a bakery called “Ribosome’s”, which makes protein and RNA cookies. There are a bunch of these little bakeries, on top of Endoplasmic Reticulum Square. Only the ER’s live on this square. The ER’s are a group of artists, and since the city is so green, they make their art out of old materials, which they transform into something useful and functional. There is the Peroxisome Police Station, which fought crime in the form of the bad Toxins.
The plantlife is made mostly of Cilia and Flagella, which moves, so you have to watch out for it!
Since people have too many belongings, they have to store them somewhere! There are separate storage houses called Plastids (to store the solid things) and Vacuoles (for all their liquids).
The city is enclosed in a giant bubble called the Cytoskeleton, which provides shape, yet is flexible for easy movement within the ocean. The bubble is made up of certain spindle fiber materials called microtubules (which are organized into centrioles). These allow the city to split and break apart into separate parts once it is time. Until that time comes, however, Intermediate Filaments help strengthen the bubble so it is not destroyed. In order for it to move around in the ocean, there are microfilaments which allow the bubbles change of shape and movement!
