what cell I want to be

People usually don't ask, which cell do you want to be? However, despite of the fact that no one asked, I'm going to answer this question anyways.
I've learned two types of cells during the science class. Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic. Prokaryotic is basically a simple cell that has 3 layers of protection. Moreover, they usually work as virus. 
In contrast, eukaryotic cell is more complexed form of cells that includes variety of organelles that makes cells alive and do different functions. 
Furthermore, there are two types of eukaryotic cells, animal and plant. 

Animal cell is has softer feature compared to plant cells. Moreover, cell membranes in animal cell carries out several procedures: Diffusion, Facilitated diffusion, and Osmosis. 


*Diffusion, Facilitated diffusion, and Osmosis*
Diffusion: Main method of small molecules moving through the cell membrane. Passive transport would be are high concentration to lower concentration. Active transport would be the opposite.  Molecules are always moving, and as they move the collide to each other. Moreover, collision will cause molecules to push away from one another. The substance of the molecule will spread until they get evenly throughout the area. 
Facilitated diffusion: Membrane has thin two layers of fat, and weird looking chamber. Moreover, facilitated diffusion would be transporting through the 'weird looking' chamber. The protein molecules fit to the right spot, and changes channels shape to make bigger molecules to move out. 
Osmosis : Osmosis is basically the diffusion process that is consisted only with water molecules. 


Organelles that are contained in the animal cell is endoplasmic reticulum, nucleus, mitochondria, vacuole, centriole, golgi appartus, and ribosomes. 
Different from animal cell, plant cell has a hard layer of protection call cell wall, and different kind of 'powerhouse' call chloroplast. 


To get to the point, I want to be an animal cell. 
Different from plant cell, Animal cell has softer surface and makes it look like it has jelly-ish feeling of texture. Also, even without a sunlight it produces protein from ribosomes and mitochondria producing ATP for cells surviving purpose. 
Animal cell also includes centrioles that produces structure like inner-skeleton to keep the basic shape of the cell. Contrasting to Plant cell, It doesn't need any fancy big looking cover to maintain its shape. 
with these 'Awesome' reasons I 'd want to be an animal cell. mhaha 'ㅅ'

  1. I think you need to explain what you would do intead of just doing nothing waiting for antibodies or whiteblood cells to come and kill you. The prokaryotic cells usually cause diseases or help us. I think you should specify that.
