Mitchondria

The strongest organelle

[Mitchondria @BuffPowerHouse]

My name originated from the Greek words míto(s) and chóndrion. The word míto(s) means thread and the word chóndrion means small grain.

When a cell needs more energy, I can reproduce by growing larger and then divide. #GootAPBio #VoteMitochondria

[Mitchondria @BuffPowerHouse]

If I didn’t exist many animals would likely not be alive because their cells would only be able to obtain energy from anaerobic respiration. #GootAPBio #VoteMitochondria

[Mitchondria @BuffPowerHouse]

I can be seen under a light microscope #GootAPBio #VoteMitochondria

[Mitchondria @BuffPowerHouse]

The inner membrane and the outer membrane have different functions. #GootAPBio #VoteMitochondria

[Mitchondria @BuffPowerHouse]

I’m between -0.5 to 3 µm long!! #GootAPBio #VoteMitochondria

[Mitchondria @BuffPowerHouse]

What’s cool about me is I can generate heat when you’re cold🥶🔥

[Mitchondria @BuffPowerHouse]

I can store calcium🥛 #GootAPBio #VoteMitochondria

[Mitchondria @BuffPowerHouse]

I’m the best-known organelle😁 #GootAPBio #VoteMitochondria

[Mitchondria @BuffPowerHouse]

I’m involved in signaling between cells and cell death💀 #GootAPBio #VoteMitochondria

[Mitchondria @BuffPowerHouse]

I have five distinct parts: the outer mitochondrial membrane, the inter membrane space, the inner mitochondrial membrane, the cristae space and the matrix. #GootAPBio

[Mitchondria @BuffPowerHouse]

I have my own genome🧬🧬 #GootAPBio #VoteMitochondria

[Mitchondria @BuffPowerHouse]

I can quickly change shape and move around the cell when needed. #GootAPBio #VoteMitochondria

😁🤣

[Mitchondria @BuffPowerHouse]

I can be just like the digestive system. We both break down food to supply the body with energy💥

[Mitchondria @BuffPowerHouse]

I have two distinct membranes and a unique genome and reproduce by binary fission

[Mitchondria @BuffPowerHouse]

I can work like a Tesla battery🔋💥

[Mitchondria @BuffPowerHouse]

I’m made up of 40% of each heart muscle cell and 25% of each liver cell. #GootAPBio #VoteMitochondria
