I have my own genome... do you? I mean, how could you compete with that? #comeonorganelles @MrsK_FHS #FHSTwitterWar

Chloroplasts move from the cell surface to the side of cell walls in plant cells under high light, protecting plants from photodamage. Check out how researchers are looking to fine tune this process here: https://t.co/hTjyBY3BOV @MrsK_FHS #FHSTwitterWar

@TheRealMito1 @MrsK_FHS I produce the oxygen that "humans, animals, and other things that need oxygen to live" use for cellular respiration. For your ATP to help begin cellular respiration you need MY oxygen. #FHSTwitterWar @MrsK_FHS @TheRealMito1

COLORS: we specialize in the color green. The green grass? We did that! Amazing right? Our chlorophyll is who everyone should thank for the beautiful pigments in plants!

Shout out to the Golgi Apparatus for taking my hard work and making it even better. @GolgiHandling @MrsK_FHS #FHSTwitterWar

@TheRealMito1 @MrsK_FHS Even so, you’re quite the colorless organelle. @MrsK_FHS @TheRealMito1

[Green_Chloroplast_Bean @BeanChloroplast]

Since I am a plastid, I’m able to develop from a protoplastid and release a thylakoid. AKA I can change the color pigments of fruit unlike the mitochondria. #FHSTwitterWar @MrsK_FHS

@TheRealMito1 @MrsK_FHS Funny how you say you keep cells alive, but there would be no plant cells and no plants without me and my chlorophyll molecules. Plants are the basis of all life on Earth... you wouldn’t have much to provide for without me #FhsTwitterWar @MrsK_FHS @TheRealMito1

Scientists did research on the correlation between light quality and the amount of chlorophyll & carotenoid content of leaves in strawberries! With some colored covers there was more chlorophyll and more strawberries. But with no me, no strawberries :( @MrsK_FHS #nostrawbssad

Im found in both eukaryotic cells but have prokaryotic traits like a double membrane, bacteria like ribosomes and circular DNA. I’m like a eukaryote-prokaryote. #doubleduty #FhsTwitterWar @MrsK_FHS

[Green_Chloroplast_Bean @BeanChloroplast]

The sun shines upon me as if I was a goddess, and I capture it in my beautiful chlorophylls. The chlorophylls give me my radiant green color. #atrueorganellebeauty #FHSTwitterWar @MrsK_FHS

[Green_Chloroplast_Bean @BeanChloroplast]

Why do I call myself a green bean? My structure is constructed of 3 membranes: outer, inner and inter membrane which form a bean. I also store chlorophyll pigments in my thylakoid membrane, which make me look green! #FHSTwitterWar @MrsK_FHS

[Green_Chloroplast_Bean @BeanChloroplast]

Not only do I convert light energy into sugars for photosynthesis, but I have also been secretly chaperoning enzymes in the tetrapyrrole biosynthesis! #FHSTwitterWar #Multipurposeenergy @MrsK_FHS https://t.co/kOPtC9Q4gH

[Green_Chloroplast_Bean @BeanChloroplast]

Mitochondria are simple... I am much larger, perform other functions other than generating ATP and I’m much more complex (not to mention humble). #fhsorganellewars @MrsK_FHS

[Green_Chloroplast_Bean @BeanChloroplast]

I have a light side and a dark side. Light reactions take place on my thylakoids inside my grana while dark reactions take place on my stroma. The dark reactions (don’t need light) are what make simple sugars from CO2 and H2O! #fhsorganellewars @MrsK_FHS

[Green_Chloroplast_Bean @BeanChloroplast]

I cook for the world by giving O2/fuel to almost everything. Recipe: photosynthesis. I’m able to convert CO2 into sugar and O2 in my stroma through enzymes. Organelles, try to be half as handy as me. #fhsorganellewars @MrsK_FHS

@GolgiHandling seems a little dense with its stacked cisternae. I, on the other hand have a density of one half million per square mm on a leaf. #fhsorganellewars @MrsK_FHS
