VACUOLES FOR MAYOR!!

Vacuoles is our name, homeostasis is our game 😎

[VACUOLES FOR MAYOR!! @VOTEVACUOLES]

The central vacuole enables plant cells to grow much larger without having to synthesize new cytoplasm. Just tryna be efficient 😎 #CellvilleAllen2021

[VACUOLES FOR MAYOR!! @VOTEVACUOLES]

The central vacuole is highly selective in transporting materials through its membrane. Gotta make sure everything is in order for Cellville! So I’m sorry but for some substances it’s… #CellvilleAllen2021

[VACUOLES FOR MAYOR!! @VOTEVACUOLES]

The membrane that separates a plant vacuole from the remaining parts of the cell is scientifically knows as tonoplast. It is stretchable and it’s structure changes according to the requirements of the cell. So take it easy cause we are flexible 😇 #CellvilleAllen2021

[VACUOLES FOR MAYOR!! @VOTEVACUOLES]

Endocytosis is also an important function for the vacuole in animal cells because it contributes to immunity from dangerous disease. Vacuoles can bring bacteria and microbes into the cell while keeping the rest of it safe. It then breaks the pathogens down 😤#CellvilleAllen2021

[VACUOLES FOR MAYOR!! @VOTEVACUOLES]

Animal cells wouldn’t benefit from a large vacuole because they do not have a cell wall to provide enough counter-pressure to the turgor pressure, so the cell could burst. We take note of everything and adapt to the needs of cells 📝 #CellvilleAllen2021

[VACUOLES FOR MAYOR!! @VOTEVACUOLES]

If a cell didn't have a vacuole, it would be unable to carry out its usual functions and would eventually die. We take no breaks, so have faith we'll keep you safe!! #CellvilleAllen2021

[VACUOLES FOR MAYOR!! @VOTEVACUOLES]

Some vacuoles store and release chemicals that are poisonous or taste bad to deter predators from consuming the plant.​ We protect plants and we will protect you too! #CellvilleAllen2021

[VACUOLES FOR MAYOR!! @VOTEVACUOLES]

You could essentially describe food vacuoles as a portion of the plasma membrane that encircles food particles when they enter the cell. Once inside, the food vacuole begins to digest it with the help of lysosomes. After, we get the usable nutrients for you. #CellvilleAllen2021

[VACUOLES FOR MAYOR!! @VOTEVACUOLES]

What are we? Some say the storage unit of the cell. Why do we do it? Because we need to store materials that the cell may need later on or those that can damage the cell and need to be removed. We are already looking out for you and we will as mayor ❤️#CellvilleAllen2021

[VACUOLES FOR MAYOR!! @VOTEVACUOLES]

We love enzymes, don’t we? Well the vacuole in plant cells keeps the cytoplasm in the cell acidic so that they can break down molecules. We lower pH by moving protons from the cell cytosol into the vacuole. Maintaining balance with ease as if it a breeze 🥱 #CellvilleAllen2021

[VACUOLES FOR MAYOR!! @VOTEVACUOLES]

The internal acidic environment of a vacuole aids in the degradation of larger molecules sent to the vacuole for destruction. Even though we degrade large molecules we'll never degrade you! #CellvilleAllen2021

[VACUOLES FOR MAYOR!! @VOTEVACUOLES]

Our functions include growth, storage, molecular degradation, detoxification, protection, and seed germination. We're great at all these roles just like we'll be great at our mayoral duties if you vote us!! #CellvilleAllen2021

[VACUOLES FOR MAYOR!! @VOTEVACUOLES]

The central vacuole aids in cell elongation by absorbing water and exerting turgor pressure on the cell wall. We are already used to promoting growth so we'll help grow our city! #CellvilleAllen2021

[VACUOLES FOR MAYOR!! @VOTEVACUOLES]

The food vacuoles are the mechanism by which a cell eats so that the food particles can be used as energy. So basically, without us, Cellville would go hungry. #votevacuoles #CellvilleAllen2021

[VACUOLES FOR MAYOR!! @VOTEVACUOLES]

Were you aware that the central vacuole can occupy most of the room in a plant cell (80% or more?). Yep, we are kind of a big deal 💅 ✨ #CellvilleAllen2021

[VACUOLES FOR MAYOR!! @VOTEVACUOLES]

Yes it’s true that vacuoles in animal cells are smaller than those in plant cells. But they are still crucial, and there are typically multiple of them 😌✨#CellvilleAllen2021

[VACUOLES FOR MAYOR!! @VOTEVACUOLES]

To give you some insight, we central vacuoles use proton motive force (a chemical gradient used to move materials in and out of the cell) to store water. With our advanced preparation, we’ll keep plant cells safe in the event of a drought ☀️#CellvilleAllen2021

[VACUOLES FOR MAYOR!! @VOTEVACUOLES]

Got love my buds endoplasmic reticulum and golgi apparatus, who release vesicles that help to form vacuoles. Organelles helping organelles. We need this unity in Cellville and I’ll make a perfect example of it by maintaining homeostasis for us all 🥰 #CellvilleAllen2021

[VACUOLES FOR MAYOR!! @VOTEVACUOLES]

#NewProfilePic, gotta look good for the Campaign, it’s time to leave an impression ✨

[VACUOLES FOR MAYOR!! @VOTEVACUOLES]

Some of the political animosity here in Cellville needs a detox. Rest assured because sometimes vacuoles get rid of harmful toxins or clear the extra cellular space of those harmful toxins by bringing them in for conversion into safer compounds. 😌#CellvilleAllen2021
