What Kind of Cell Would I like To Be

If I could be a cell, I would be a prokaryotic cell. I would like to be a prokaryotic cell because they are very simple single cells, they don't have organelles. Although they are very simple, they perform many important functions; serve as decomposers, agents of fermentation, play an important role in our own digestive system. They are really small and some of them use sulfur instead of oxygen in their metabolism. Some of them have a capsule that is an additional protection that also helps the cell adhere to surfaces and nutrients. They have flagella, structures made of protein, that enables them to move. Prokaryotic cells divide by binary function and are the most primitive forms of life on Earth. 


If I was a prokaryotic cell I wouldn't have to rely on others cells and would be able to move. I wouldn't depend on oxygen to live and although I would be simple and small I would be essential for life on Earth. I also would be resistant and be the oldest organism on Earth, which proves that I am the perfect organism as I am on Earth for so much time.
