Our cells require a team of molecules to prevent them from "committing suicide." The Reaper protein interferes with molecules that keep the cells from killing themselves. The Reaper just announces the death of the cell kinda like the Grim Reaper, but it doesn't kill the cell itself. Scientists also discovered that the reaper must ravel into the mitochondria of the cell to deliver its death sentence. Reaper also works with Hid and Grim as well.
5 Sentence Opinion
I think this is really interesting especially since I know what most of these words mean. I think it is also cool because we have been talking about the parts of the cell in class. I also think it is interesting how it targets the mitochondria and thats it. I also think the way it interacts with other proteins and molecules to deliver its "Death Sentence". If we could learn to control the Reaper then we could use it to get rid of bad cells or infected cells and we could keep the ones we need.
