I am an organelle that is responsible for producing most ATP (energy) in the cell. There are lots of me in muscles, the liver, and the kidneys.

@Coolchloroplas3 Only in plant cells, I do it in both cells. No worries though!

[Mightychondria2021 @MightyChond2021]

@Coolchloroplas3 No matter what organelle, of course if they malfunction they will not be as good and cause disease. Another point, mitochondria provide enough energy in both cells, including animal cells WHICH CHLOROPLASTS AREN’T IN. Lastly, mitochondria do more than just energy, what do you do?

[Mightychondria2021 @MightyChond2021]

Cells also can’t live without the mitochondria, which reproduces itself via binary fission.

[Ribosome @Number1Ribosome]

The ribosome leads all of cellular reproduction by replicating DNA with RNA, so the cell can't reproduce without ribosomes

You are forgetting the part where the mitochondria is too damaged to keep the cell alive, as the cell depends on the energy from the mitochondria. Apoptosis also is key in the early development for organisms. As for the diseases, many other organelles also “cause” them.

[Ribosome @Number1Ribosome]

When the mitochondria malfunctions, it begins to kill the cell in a process called apoptosis, even though the rest of the cell functions perfectly fine, causing many issues, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's @MightyChond2021 #voteribosomeorgohome

Mitochondria contain ribosomes inside the matrix giving ribosomes a place to stay. What a class act! #MIGHTYaction #VoteMIGHTYchondria

[Mightychondria2021 @MightyChond2021]

In the matrix of the mitochondria there are matrix granules that create contact sites where enzymes can function efficiently! #MIGHTYstructure #VoteMIGHTYchondria

[Mightychondria2021 @MightyChond2021]

Fun fact: Part of the structure of the mitochondria is the cristae. It’s a fold in the inner membrane that gives more surface area for reactions to occur. #MIGHTYcool #VoteMIGHTYchondria2021

When the chloroplast is influenced by a virus, it has a depleted photosynthetic activity. #NotMyOrganelle #VoteMIGHTYchondria2021

[Mightychondria2021 @MightyChond2021]

I don’t just do cellular respiration, I also signal between cells and am responsible for cell death (apoptosis). Don’t worry, apoptosis is used to eliminate unwanted cells and to eliminate cells damaged beyond repair. #VoteMIGHTYchondria

[Mightychondria2021 @MightyChond2021]

@Number1Ribosome We just make the energy. We don’t choose to give it to the virus. #NotOurChoice

[Mightychondria2021 @MightyChond2021]

@endoreti2021 The ER can also cause diabetes so I’m not really sure what you are going at.

[Mightychondria2021 @MightyChond2021]

@endoreti2021 We can help that we provide so much energy for the cell. We are just too efficient at our job.

[Mightychondria2021 @MightyChond2021]

@endoreti2021 You guys cause Alzheimer’s? Will you be able to even remember your function?#SleepyEndo

[Mightychondria2021 @MightyChond2021]

@endoreti2021 Nothing wrong with being autistic. Autistic people are some of the brightest people on earth. #NoHate

[Mightychondria2021 @MightyChond2021]

@Number1Ribosome How come you guys help out viruses by doing protein synthesis for them. Are you trying to destroy all cells? #Traitor

[Mightychondria2021 @MightyChond2021]

I provide energy for the whole cell. I don’t discriminate on who gets it. #VoteMIGHTYchondria

[Mightychondria2021 @MightyChond2021]

I provide energy for the cell through cellular respiration. Vote mitochondria for the nation. #OrganelleElection2021

[Mightychondria2021 @MightyChond2021]

My origin shows a lot about me. Ancient mitochondria once were free prokaryotic cells until one was engulfed by a cell. Then mitochondria and cells have had a symbiotic relationship ever since. Mitochondria can be both independent and cooperative. #OrganelleElection2021
