mitochondria

[mitochondria @mito4prez2020]

Almost every cellular process is linked to me, the mitochondria! A vote for me is a vote for the candidate that will perform in all aspects of the cell. #OrganelleVote2020

[mitochondria @mito4prez2020]

Your house may lose power in a storm, but with the mitochondria your cells will never have to worry about that! Vote! #OrganelleVote2020

[mitochondria @mito4prez2020]

Although the leaves are changing, here’s one thing that will never change: my dedication to provide ATP in order to power your cells! #OrganelleVote2020

[mitochondria @mito4prez2020]

I am able to convert nutrients and oxygen into ATP energy, which powers a cell’s metabolic activities. #OrganelleVote2020

[mitochondria @mito4prez2020]

Without me, there’d be no aerobic respiration, which is needed for animals to breathe. If I didn’t exist, neither would animals! #OrganelleVote2020

[mitochondria @mito4prez2020]

When a cell needs more energy, that means more of me! I am there for the cells, and give them what they need! #OrganelleVote2020

[mitochondria @mito4prez2020]

I keep the balance between cell survival and death. When needed, I can execute apoptosis. Vote for someone who can do the hard jobs! #OrganelleVote2020

[mitochondria @mito4prez2020]

I make sure that a cell won’t undertake a process that I’m not suitable for. Metabolic regulation is important and I make sure I have balance in cellular metabolic requirements and mitochondrial capacity. #OrganelleVote2020

[mitochondria @mito4prez2020]

Through OMM signaling, I can communicate with the rest of the cell and make sure everything is going as planned. Vote for someone with hood communication skills! #OrganelleVote2020

[mitochondria @mito4prez2020]

I can divide myself into different independent structures, creating more of me, or merge several of myself together as needed. When changes need to be made, I’m your organelle! #OrganelleVote2020

[mitochondria @mito4prez2020]

Through mitophagy, I have quality control and remove any of me that are damaged. This is a way to guarantee good function of cells and tissues, and helps avoid diseases! #OrganelleVote2020

[mitochondria @mito4prez2020]

I am essential and very present in the cells of the liver. There, I am needed to metabolize carbs, lipids, and proteins. By doing this, I prevent liver disease and keep you safe! #OrganelleVote2020

[mitochondria @mito4prez2020]

I am crucial to the survival of cardiac cells. In the heart, my most important roles are energy production, calcium homeostasis, and regulation of apoptotic and necrotic cell death. #OrganelleVote2020

[mitochondria @mito4prez2020]

I am critical for providing energy to the brain. Its neurons are dependent on me to survive, having hundreds to thousands of me in each one. I am needed, and willing to do my job! #OrganelleVote2020

[mitochondria @mito4prez2020]

In the skin, I am needed for cell signaling, wound healing, pigmentation, vasculature homeostasis, and hair growth. If you want good skin, vote for me! #OrganelleVote2020

[mitochondria @mito4prez2020]

When I don’t function, it can cause diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s. Vote for me so I can do my job well and prevent these from happening! #OrganelleVote2020

[mitochondria @mito4prez2020]

I am needed in both plant AND animal cell! Pretty important if you ask me. #OrganelleVote2020

[mitochondria @mito4prez2020]

Without me the other organelles can’t function! They need me and so do you! Remember to vote! #OrganelleVote2020

[mitochondria @mito4prez2020]

I use organic compounds to create ATP. I am responsible for the energy in the cell! #OrganelleVote2020

[mitochondria @mito4prez2020]

Other organelles’ faces when they realize they use my ATP to function. Vote! #OrganelleVote2020
