Think of the mitochondria as a power plant that generates a city. The absence of a power plant equals to a total blackout. A total blackout equals an unproductive cell of a city. @mslaflamme#organellewars#APBio
The layered structure in the inner membrane of the mitochondria is called cristae. Because of its folding, the surface area of the organelle is increased thus more reactions can occur. #organellewars@mslaflamme
If I can recall properly, "lyse" means burst. Just like in LYSosome. Doesn't the lysosomes contain enzymes lethal to the cell? Bursting=dying. Don't vote dying. #organellewars@mslaflamme#AkinsAPBio
The pump of blood in your veins, the inhalation of air to your lungs, and the movement of your thumb to scroll past this post requires energy derived from cellular respiration. Aka a main function of the mitochondria. @mslaflamme#Organellewars
Make what happen? Nothing? Because y'alls jobs would be nothing without the life-sustaining production of energy.

The nucleus might control cell movement but the cytoskeleton are the actual WORKERS that make it happen. π·π» @mslaflamme#organellewars https://t.co/zjzp6WQizu
