While there is no known founder of me and my kind, there is still someone who was smart enough to find me. That person is Leeuwenhoek. #OrganelleVote2019 #RooAPBio

Smoking will kill me in both your windpipe and your lungs. Please don't kill me. #CecilAgainstCigs #OrganelleVote2019 #RooAPBio

I may be only 1-10 micrometers long and less than one micrometer in width, but I can still make a big impact on this organelle vote #OrganelleVote2019 #RooAPBio

Who knew that I even have the vote of the snail population? Did you know that among other tasks, I also generate water currents to carry food and oxygen past the gills of clams and transport food through the digestive systems of snails. #OrganelleVote2019 #RooAPBio

Unlike my opponent the Flagella, you should vote for me because there are 100 more of me around in the cell than flagella! You're outnumbered flagella! #OrganelleVote2019 #RooAPBio

i am capable of whipping motions and am used by some microorganisms for movement. For example, when my cousin who goes by the name of motile cilia is found in the lining of the trachea, where the sweeps mucus and dirt out of the lungs. #OrganelleVote2019 #RooAPBio

[Cecil Cilia @CCillia]

Flow into voting for me, because i am motile and designed either to move the cell itself or to move substances over or around the cell. #OrganelleVote2019 #RooAPBio

[Cecil Cilia @CCillia]

Cilia are found in lining cells, such as those along the respiratory tract. Cilia are found in the lining of the trachea. In females, cilia is found in the fallopian to help move the ovum from the ovary to the uterus. #RooApBio #OrganelleVote2019

i am a hair-like filament on a cells wall whose wafting motion is used for propulsion (the action of pushing forward) or moving matter along a surface. #RooAPBio #OrganelleVote2019
