Editing - Sunday

Following is a paragraph with approximately 5-7 errors. Please copy and paste the paragraph into the comment box and make all necessary corrections. By the time you post your response, all corrections should have been made.

Please note: this assignment will change daily. You must complete the editing process for two of the assignments this week. That means that you must do the homework on two separate days. There will be no comment back to another student this week, just the two responses. If you complete more than 2 responses, your top two scores will count.

Here is the excerpt (From Cloning and Genetic Engineering by Holly Cefrey):

All living things are made of cells. The cell is a living watery unit. Its the basic building block of all life. Certain organisms need only won block. Some bacteria and germs are made of only one cell. On the other hand the complex human body is made of trillions of cells.

Cells perform many important jobs. They take in food, and get rid of waste products. During the time they are alive, cells also reproduce, or make more cells. Though cells come in different sizes, all is extremely small. Hundreds of average-sized cells would fit inside the period at the end of this sentence.
