Plasma Membrane

Flexible, Functional, Fabulous

@vesicles2021 Is this a threat to Cellville?! Do you not know that extreme temperatures can denature the proteins in membranes throughout the cell (including your own)? Cellville better choose wisely if they want to continue living the lives they’ve been accustomed to #CellvilleAllen2021

[Plasma Membrane @Membrainy07]

@mitochondriyuhn Not every organelle has the honor of being a pogil or having its own chapter!! I guess you could say I’m pretty important or whateva 🤷‍♀️ #Membrane4Mayor #CellvilleAllen2021

[Plasma Membrane @Membrainy07]

@SuperRoughER @susan_smoothER Rebekka, your knowledge on my capabilities seems to be a bit rough. But I agree - we need each other to exist and should therefore work together #CellvilleAllen2021

[Plasma Membrane @Membrainy07]

@SuperRoughER @susan_smoothER Yo Rebekka Rough, back at you. Your cisternae are made from MEMBRANOUS phospholipids. Without me, you’d also cease to exist. I also wouldn’t need you to make my phospholipids since Susy Smooth can also make them. #CellvilleAllen2021 #Membrane4Mayor

[Plasma Membrane @Membrainy07]

@susan_smoothER @SuperRoughER Yes, but it’s the vesicles from your trans-ER that transports the proteins, not your own self. #CellvilleAllen2021

[Plasma Membrane @Membrainy07]

@mitochondriyuhn The grind never stops as long as I continue diffusing oxygen to the cell so you can harness it and do your job. Let’s be real, you need my help to truly “run the world.” #LetsWorkTogether #CellvilleAllen2021

[Plasma Membrane @Membrainy07]

@MrsChloroplastt Your membranous grana are crucial for capturing light for photosynthesis, but I wonder if your administration would be just as weak and floppy as those pancakes… #PancakesAreFoodNotMayors #CellvilleAllen2021 #membrane4mayor

[Plasma Membrane @Membrainy07]

@TheGolgiAppa But is your cisternae not made of phospholipids that are composed of hydrocarbon compounds? I guess it’s also kinda sad you forgot that fact about yourself 😥 #Membrane4Mayor #CellvilleAllen2021

[Plasma Membrane @Membrainy07]

@TheGolgiAppa That was a good roast, but remember- I thrive with fluidity in hot temperatures 🥵 #Membrane4Mayor #CellvilleAllen2021

[Plasma Membrane @Membrainy07]

I found it interesting that @TheGolgiAppa has both a cis face that receives products from the endoplasmic reticulum and a trans face that ships the processed products away. Talk about being two-faced… #Membrane4Mayor #CellvilleAllen2021

[Plasma Membrane @Membrainy07]

@nucleusformayor @MrsChloroplastt Don’t get big-headed now. How effective could you be if you don’t even contain all of the DNA in cells? I guess you couldn’t do the job right so some DNA had to be allocated to @MrsChloroplastt. #NOcleus #Membrane4Mayor #EndosymbiontTheory #CellvilleAllen2021

[Plasma Membrane @Membrainy07]

@TheGolgiAppa That was salty - if you were a compound, I’d have to osmoregulate. #Osmosis #Membrane4Mayor #CellvilleAllen2021

[Plasma Membrane @Membrainy07]

Do you ever just need to breathe? Well, I’ve got your back. I allow for the diffusion of oxygen into cells so organelles like mitochondria can use it to generate ATP through cellular respiration. #Membrane4Mayor #CellvilleAllen2021

[Plasma Membrane @Membrainy07]

Do you ever feel like your mayor doesn’t care about you? You’re probably right. But if you elect me, I can vary my composition of lipids and proteins on your organelle’s membrane to accommodate your functional needs. #CellvilleAllen2021

[Plasma Membrane @Membrainy07]

@susan_smoothER @mitochondriyuhn Honestly Susan, I couldn’t agree more. Your synthesis of phospholipids helps support and maintain my membrane, while I diffuse nutrients for you to synthesize macromolecules and do your job. #CellvilleAllen2021 #WorkingTogether #DoinItForCellville

[Plasma Membrane @Membrainy07]

Did I just hear @mitochondriyuhn say they “run the world” and provide cells with energy through ATP? Sounds like an oppressive dictator to me… #MitNOchondriyuhn #KimJungHyun #CellvilleAllen2021 #Membrane4Mayor

[Plasma Membrane @Membrainy07]

My lipids and I can rapidly switch positions from one side of my bilayer to the other. This flexibility will allow me to listen to the public and make amends as needed while in office. #CellvilleAllen2021 #Membrane4Mayor

[Plasma Membrane @Membrainy07]

@susan_smoothER @mitochondriyuhn I’m actually selectively permeable, meaning I can choose which particles pass through me. I always do what’s best for Cellville by getting rid of unnecessary particles. My campaign advocates against misinformation, and you are a perfect example of this #CellvilleAllen2021

[Plasma Membrane @Membrainy07]

@MayorRER Oh, I forgot - you don’t do much around here other than take credit for the proteins that you make other ribosomes synthesize! I guess Cellville needs someone more skilled to eliminate their toxic waste. #carryingtheteam #diffusion #Membrane4Mayor #CellvilleAllen2021
