Read the story about how your body fights a virus.
---text
When a sick person sneezes, a virus goes into the air. You might breathe it into your lungs. The virus lands on one of your cells.
The cell has a wall called a Cell Membrane to protect it. But the virus tricks the membrane and gets inside!
The cell must fight back. The Nucleus is the "boss" of the cell. It holds the instructions, called DNA. The Nucleus tells the cell to make a weapon. This weapon is called an Antibody.
To fight the virus, the cell needs power. The Mitochondria makes the energy the cell needs to win the battle. Finally, the antibody finds the virus and stops it.
