I'm (a) complex.

[Gold G Apparatus @apparatus_g]

I'm so important that I help prevent apoptosis, or cell deaths. I do this by using BCL2 genes that help prevent cells from dying. #fhstwitterwar @MrsK_FHS

[Gold G Apparatus @apparatus_g]

Not to brag or anything, but since I process lysosomal enzymes, I'm actually responsible for making lysosomes- I'm an organelle that creates other organelles. Doesn't that make me the God of the cell? #FHSTwitterBattle @MrsK_FHS

[Gold G Apparatus @apparatus_g]

I'm a must-have for a good cell, and pancreatic cells know it! They have lots of me, since I help them deliver insulin out of the cell to be used in the body. Without this function, humans wouldn't be able to control blood sugar so you're welcome! #FHSTwitterBattle @MrsK_FHS

[Gold G Apparatus @apparatus_g]

The current model of my function, the cisternal progression-maturation model (below), wasn't proposed until the mid 1900s and there's still disagreement among scientists about how I work. Yeah, that happens when you're as complex as me #FHSTwitterBattle @MrsK_FHS

[Gold G Apparatus @apparatus_g]

One of my many functions is removing and substituting sugar monomers of glycoproteins. Perfecting the products of the ER isn't always easy, but I'm always happy to pick up the slack of other organelles¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #FHSTwitterWar @MRSK_FHS

[Gold G Apparatus @apparatus_g]

Fun fact: I'm made of up to sixty separate cisternae that don't even need to be connected to do important things! Must mean I'm sixty times more important than any other organelle... #FHSTwitterWar @MrsK_FHS

[Gold G Apparatus @apparatus_g]

I'm so cool I can work forwards AND backwards, recycling molecules to maintain my size. Can anyone else say that? #FHSTwitterWar @MrsK_FHS

[Gold G Apparatus @apparatus_g]

In 2012, scientists found further info on how I sort macromolecules for lysosomes and extracellular milieu. Here's an article to read more about my fame to be as a UPS messenger ;) #FHSTwitterWar @MrsK_FHS https://t.co/ncsycfMQAD

[Gold G Apparatus @apparatus_g]

I'm so popular, I am known by multiple names. You can call me by Golgi Apparatus, Golgi Body, or Golgi Complex... anything else is unacceptable.

Cello everyone! I read this fascinating article and it proves my importance. Without me, cells wouldn't be able to prepare lipids and proteins for transport! What can I say, I'm crucial to everyone's existence. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In plant cells, there are hundreds of smaller mes! All those little fellas are dedicated to producing more pectin and polysaccharides for the cell walls. Cool, right? #FHSTwitterWar @MrsK_FHS

[Gold G Apparatus @apparatus_g]

Apparently when my guy Camillo first discovered me, some scientists thought I wasn't real and just an illusion. If only those old scientists understood - I'm one of the most important parts of the cell! #FHSTwitterWar @MrsK_FHS

[Gold G Apparatus @apparatus_g]

I've heard some people saying my name wrong, and it's starting to get really annoying. It's gol-jee, not gol-gee. Get it right. Thanks. #FHSTwitterWar @MrsK_FHS

[Gold G Apparatus @apparatus_g]

Hey @wethenucleus - Can you direct @RoughKwonTheER to slow down its protein production? We're kind of swamped with deliveries right now. Thanks! #FHSTwitterWar @MrsK_FHS

[Gold G Apparatus @apparatus_g]

@wethenucleus @MrsK_FHS "control and direct all the activities"..hmm..that's an overstatement. You may be in charge of protein synthesis but I sort, tag, and ship the cell products and "handle" it with care. Never forget that the cell would be nowhere without me! @MrsK_FHS #FHSTwitterWar

[Gold G Apparatus @apparatus_g]

Cell for thought:
Our vesicles are compared to UPS trucks but unlike UPS trucks, our vesicles deliver the whole week, including Sundays! Just ask the Endocrine Glands. Aren't we dedicated to our work! #FHSTwitterWar @MrsK_FHS

[Gold G Apparatus @apparatus_g]

What's up cellulosers! I am the UPS truck driver of the cell. I receive and transmit materials to and from other parts of the cell!!!!! #fhstwitterwar @MrsK_FHS
