Go Green and Vote for Chloroplast! The most infamous organelle of them all. 🌱🌿🍃☘️🍀🌵🌳

Who doesn't love this little guy? Groot votes for Chloroplast...and you should too! Let's make the world green again!!! #OrganelleWars @lmartinezchinn

[Chloroplast @Chloroplastin]

Did you know I am a type of plastid? Two of my main characteristics is my double-layered membrane and a high concentration of chlorophyll. #OrganelleWars @lmartinezchinn

[Chloroplast @Chloroplastin]

In addition to performing photosynthesis, I can also produce starch and some amino acids. #OrganelleWars @lmartinezchinn

Random Wednesday fact:
My doubled membrane structure is known as the envelope. This is where cytoplasmic proteins are processed into their final forms. #OrganelleWars @lmartinezchinn

I made a Haiku poem that I’d like to share...

Small green chloroplast
Capture energy from light
And thus make glucose

Fun fact: I, Chloroplast, move around the cell to position myself where I can best absorb sunlight. #OrganelleWars @lmartinezchinn

Here's a pic of my cell. Can you spot some of my neighbors? @RoughEndoRec @smootherERthanU @OnePlasma @TFriend123 @MitroMighty

Misconception: "Chloroplast is not important because it is only in plant cells."
Truth: Animal cells don't need me because they do not perform photosynthesis. Therefore, it doesn't make me any less important. I'm just more necessary in plant cells.

@TFriend123 @MitroMighty @lmartinezchinn @TFriend123 , the mitochondria may be able to create energy, but MY energy is what makes the food. Do you want the the cell to starve? I didn't think so. Hate to break it to you @MitroMighty but your energy is not as important as MINE.

Roses are red
Plants are green
The reason for that
Is because of me

I am the container of all the chloroplasts in a plant which helps give it that beautiful green pigment. Without me, plants wouldn’t be what they are today.

Vote for Chloroplast!

It’s Election Day! Vote Chloroplast for President. Making the world a better place one plant at a time. 🌱👍 #OrganelleWars @lmartinezchinn

I work 12 hours a day. When the sun’s out, you already know I’m working hard. The grind don’t stop. #Chloroplastgrind #OrganelleWars @lmartinezchinn

[Chloroplast @Chloroplastin]

Some people think the mitochondria and chloroplast are equally important. But I beg to differ. I, Chloroplast, am much larger and more complex than the mitochondria. The power I hold far exceeds the so called, "powerhouse of the cell". #OrganelleWars @lmartinezchinn

[Chloroplast @Chloroplastin]

My puns are so funny, that they PUNish the other organelles. Everyone loves an organelle with a sense of humor! :) #OrganelleWars @lmartinezchinn

[Chloroplast @Chloroplastin]

@RoughEndoRec, I may not be in animal cells, but I am the only organelle that can get the job done in plant cells. Who provides food for the plants? Me. Who performs photosynthesis? Me. I am so relevant that life itself depends on me. #OrganelleWars @lmartinezchinn

[Chloroplast @Chloroplastin]

My outer membrane is freely permeable to small molecules. But that's not all! Did you know that my outer membrane also contains transmembrane channels that can import larger molecules, such as nuclear-encoded proteins? #OrganelleWars @lmartinezchinn

[Chloroplast @Chloroplastin]

I, Chloroplast, am one of the most unique organelles. I provide aid to plants so they can survive. Plants are the basis of life. Without me, there's no plants, and without plants, there's no life. #OrganelleWars @lmartinezchinn

[Chloroplast @Chloroplastin]

In the stoma, enzymes create organic molecules that store energy, for example, carbohydrates. Inside, I also contain my own DNA and ribosomes. How cool is that? 😏 #OrganelleWars @lmartinezchinn

[Chloroplast @Chloroplastin]

Fun fact: I have a double-celled composite membrane with an intermembrane space, where my thylakoids are located.
