Dwayne the Cell Membrane

Hi! I'm Dwayne the cell membrane. I protect the inside of the cell from the outside by being selectively permeable. #InsanefortheMembrane #erfurdtcells2019

[Dwayne the Cell Membrane @DwayneMembrane]

My membrane-bound secretory vesicles dock, fuse, and expel their contents to the outside through specialized and permanent plasma membrane structures, called porosomes or fusion pores - how cool! #VoteDwayne #erfurdtscells2019

[Dwayne the Cell Membrane @DwayneMembrane]

The membrane’s channels and receptors allow nutrients to pass through, also making sure the cell is safe from possible toxins at the same time! #VoteDwayne #erfurdtscells2019

[Dwayne the Cell Membrane @DwayneMembrane]

The membrane acts as a barrier to the outside world, controlling the influx of nutrients, hormones, chemicals and other substances the cell uses! #erfurdtcells2019 #VoteDwayne

Did you know that Singer and Nicholson’s fluid mosaic is used to describe the membrane’s structure and function. #VoteDwayne #erfurdtcells2019 #TheMoreYouKnow

[Dwayne the Cell Membrane @DwayneMembrane]

My glycolipids and glycoproteins work hard to link the cell to other cells. Just another reason why the membrane is so great!

[Dwayne the Cell Membrane @DwayneMembrane]

Proteins within the cell membrane work to prevent the membrane from linking with toxic materials and aid in movement! #VoteDwayne #erfurdtscells2019

[Dwayne the Cell Membrane @DwayneMembrane]

Both Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes have cell membranes, proving how vital they are to cell life! #erfurdtcells2019 #insaneforthemembrane #VoteDwayne

[Dwayne the Cell Membrane @DwayneMembrane]

The cell membrane regulates ions and organic molecules before they enter the cytoplasm - allowing those vital to cell survival into the cell! Just another important feature of the membrane

This phospholipid bilayer makes up the cell membrane, and is vital to the protection of the cell! #erfurdtscells2019

@Vote4Phyll I came with the facts, post up homie

[Dwayne the Cell Membrane @DwayneMembrane]

@Vote4Phyll You literally NEED the sun to function... I’m pretty sure being dependent on others is a bad quality for a president. The people need someone to keep them safe, like me! #VoteDwaynetheMembrane #erfurdtcells2019 #InsanefortheMembrane

[Dwayne the Cell Membrane @DwayneMembrane]

Did you know that the cell membrane is composed of the phospholipid bilayer, which consists of hydrophobic tails, hydrophilic heads, and fat molecules! #funfact #erfurdtcells2019

@FutureNucleus Isn’t it a little suspicious that the nucleus hold ALL of our genetic information?? Like where’s the transparency, can’t we have some too? Big Nucleus, more like Big Brother!!

[Dwayne the Cell Membrane @DwayneMembrane]

@FutureNucleus DNA, more like DN-Lame! The membrane cares about cell safety and regulates what goes in and out. Remember Nucleus, you have a membrane too 👀 #erfurdtscells2019
