We’re an organelle containing chlorophyll. This pigment produces energy from light. While it’s known for playing a role in photosynthesis, it also produces oxygen from CO2 and H2O. The thylakoid, stroma, and grana are all significant in these processes @MsDSacco#cellc2k19
The mitochondria is the site for aerobic respiration. That wouldn’t be possible if they didn’t have oxygen from the chloroplast. And you think we have no purpose. @MommieMito@MsDSacco#cellc2k19
Mutations in plants causes a white phenotype. But don’t blame me, most of the time this is due to the nucleus’ faulty genes. #cellc2k19@MsDSacco@NucWvy
A small organelle with a big role. And Spongebob approves! Vote for chloroplast as your 2019 Organelle in Chief. Because without chloroplast the world wouldn’t last. #cellc2k19@MsDSacco
Mitochondria mutations lead to Leigh Syndrome. rRNA mutations can cause resistance to antibiotics and drugs. A defective nucleoli have been linked to Alzheimer’s and Huntington’s disease. So much for helping your organism. #cellc2k19@MsDSacco@MommieMito@WHSribosomes@NucWvy
@ForChloroplast@MsDSacco Without the cell membrane, of which you have TWO, you wouldn’t be able to control what ions, molecules, and metabolites enter and/or leave. So essentially, this would be you without my client: #dealwithit#cellc2k19@MsDSacco
I may only be in plant cells but without me organisms would die from no oxygen. Cell membranes have no use if the organism is dead. #JustSaying#cellc2k19
You wouldn’t be a “power house” if it weren’t for ME. You rely on sugars and oxygen from ME to carry out your cellular respiration. 🤷♀️@MommieMito@MsDSacco#cellc2k19
