John Flagellum Kennedy

Vote John Flagellum Kennedy for Transportation President! He’s the namesake of our school, and he gets around 👍

My whip-like movement is extremely efficient. There’s no candidate more efficient for Transportation. #OrganelleVote2021

[John Flagellum Kennedy @VoteMotilityMan]

To specify my last tweet: when I’m on bacteria, I rotate. When I’m on a eukaryote, I undulate (a more smooth motion) and I have a complex structure. #OrganelleVote2021

[John Flagellum Kennedy @VoteMotilityMan]

My functions vary depending on the type of organism I’m helping out. I work for the needs of the organism. #OrganelleVote2021

[John Flagellum Kennedy @VoteMotilityMan]

Cells that contain flagella are called flagellates. That’s how big our influence is on the cell. #OrganelleVote2021

[John Flagellum Kennedy @VoteMotilityMan]

I’m a minimalist, folks. I only need one protein in order to exist, and that protein is flagellin. #OrganelleVote2021

[John Flagellum Kennedy @VoteMotilityMan]

Did I mention I’m found in the sperm cell too? My presence is ubiquitous. #OrganelleVote2021

[John Flagellum Kennedy @VoteMotilityMan]

Flagella and Cilia: only one of these are found in prokaryotes AND eukaryotes. You guess which one. #OrganelleVote2021

[John Flagellum Kennedy @VoteMotilityMan]

The choice for Transportation President is as clear as can be. Motility and transportation of you cells wouldn’t be efficient without me. #OrganelleVote2021

[John Flagellum Kennedy @VoteMotilityMan]

Me at a press conference with some other organelles in late October (I’m at the far right leading the conference). #OrganelleVote2021

[John Flagellum Kennedy @VoteMotilityMan]

Aside from our primary functions, we also allow for adhesion so we attract other molecules! #OrganelleVote2021

[John Flagellum Kennedy @VoteMotilityMan]

Strength in numbers! There can be many of us on one cell! You stand no chance! #OrganelleVote2021

[John Flagellum Kennedy @VoteMotilityMan]

John Flagellum Kennedy doesn’t act without reason. If there’s a stimulus that we need to get away from, we’ll get you away from it. #OrganelleVote2021

[John Flagellum Kennedy @VoteMotilityMan]

@xtracellymatrix Wrong. CHEMOTAXIS: the flagellum directs the organism’s motion toward environmental conditions that are attractive and away from those that are repellent. Not random.

[John Flagellum Kennedy @VoteMotilityMan]

Flagellum allows for cells to move, we need a leader that moves a lot.

[John Flagellum Kennedy @VoteMotilityMan]

Flagella allows movement of cells. If there was no movement, you wouldn’t be able to get up to go to the bathroom and then you would have poop all over yourself. #OrganelleVote2021

[John Flagellum Kennedy @VoteMotilityMan]

In response to chemical stimuli, we’ll change your chemoTAXES #OrganelleVote2021

[John Flagellum Kennedy @VoteMotilityMan]

@OfficialGolgiA Last time John Flagellum Kennedy checked, cilia are only present in eukaryotes, and bacteria are most certainly prokaryotes. Flagella, on the other hand, actually are present in both categories, a true organelle of the people!

[John Flagellum Kennedy @VoteMotilityMan]

How would you bacteria move without flagella? #OrganelleVote2021

[John Flagellum Kennedy @VoteMotilityMan]

Motility good

[John Flagellum Kennedy @VoteMotilityMan]

I love motility

[John Flagellum Kennedy @VoteMotilityMan]

@xtracellymatrix But without me you’d get nowhere 🤔
