Life's tough as a lysosome, but all the work is worth it for the wellbeing of the cell! We're #dedicated @bulleribio

Everyone peep the Avi 👀 I really will eat chu if you don't vote for me!! #jk #Sorta #HeHe #VoteforMe @bulleribio

[Lysosome @lysosomesRcool]

You can call us the 'garbage cans' or 'suicidal bags' of the cell; whatever floats your boat, we just want your vote! @bulleribio

Shoutout to our man Christian de Duve for discovering us 🙌🏽👏🏼 couldn't have made it this far without you ❤️ @bulleribio

[Lysosome @lysosomesRcool]

Don't take us for granted!!! You'll be sorry 😴😴 @bulleribio

The enzymes we hold break down nutrients like polysaccharides #NomNomNom @bulleribio

[Lysosome @lysosomesRcool]

Vote lysosome because we break it down 😎😎 @bulleribio

[Lysosome @lysosomesRcool]

Vote Lysosome, or get used to living like this 😷 @bulleribio

Without us, homeostasis would not be able to be maintained. Just something to think about 👀 @bulleribio

[Lysosome @lysosomesRcool]

We always rush to mend the plasma membrane if it's hurt in any way. #YouCanThankUsLater #OrNow @bulleribio

[Lysosome @lysosomesRcool]

Our lysosomal membrane protects the rest of the cell from the harsh digestive enzymes contained in us. #phewww @bulleribio

[Lysosome @lysosomesRcool]

Shout out to the Golgi Apparatus, we are produced through vesicle budding that occurs on the trans face of them! @bulleribio #cellvote16

[Lysosome @lysosomesRcool]

We vary in size and shape - depending on their role, one of us can be as much as 10 times larger than another! @bulleribio

[Lysosome @lysosomesRcool]

Fun Fact: We are surrounded by a single membrane! #cellvote16 @bulleribio

[Lysosome @lysosomesRcool]

We're also known as the "cellular housekeepers" because we remove the worn out organelles #SweepSweep @bulleribio #cellvote16

[Lysosome @lysosomesRcool]

We're the "stomach of the cell." #NotPregantJustEatingGood 🍴🍴 @bulleribio #cellvote16

@APBio_Chlrplast @bulleribio Actually, Tay-Sachs disease is caused by a genetic mutation in the HEXA gene #GetYourFactsStraight #NiceTryTho

[Lysosome @lysosomesRcool]

Our highly acidic interior w/ a ph of 4.5 activates the dozens of enzymes we release to break down your 💩 @bulleribio #cellvote16

[Lysosome @lysosomesRcool]

Would you want dead organelles building up in your cell? Good thing our enzymes break them down for you!! #YouNeedUs @bulleribio #cellvote16
