=[|CELL COMMAND] In Cell Command, you’ll embark on a series of exciting missions aboard a microscopic cell ship. You’ll start by operating the ribosome station, but as game play continues, you’ll simultaneously command all the ship’s functions (duplication, membrane, mitochondria, and golgi complex.) =

= [|CLOSE-KNIT NEIGHBORS] c reate your own ecosystem by rearranging the different communities in a jar of pond mud. It may just look like muck, but the mud is actually a complex community of different organisms =

= [|CONTROL OF THE CELL CYCLE] In this fun science game, you’ll play the role of a “Cell Division Supervisor.” Inside the cell nucleus, you must steer the cell division process to make sure everything happens in the right order. =

=[|IMMUNE SYSTEM DEFENDERS] The objective is to get rid of bacteria that have gathered in the wound using a range of different immune cells. You have two missions to complete. In the first, youmust command a team of white blood cells called granulocytes to fight against bacteria invading the blood system through a finger wound. In the second mission, you must command an army of macrophages and dendritic cells to fight the invading bacteria. =
