Mitochondrion Bro

I am the powerhouse of the cell. I do everything.

[Mitochondrion Bro @mitoissickbro]

mtDNA is a circular molecule which contains 16,569 base pairs! #cellvote16 @bulleribio

[Mitochondrion Bro @mitoissickbro]

The DNA inside of us is unique to only the mitochondria! #cellvote16 @bulleribio

[Mitochondrion Bro @mitoissickbro]

The mitochondria also produces heat, controls cellular metabolism, the [calcium] and the citric acid cycle. #cellvote16 @bulleribio

[Mitochondrion Bro @mitoissickbro]

Our inner membrane helps us store energy as ATP! #cellvote16 @bulleribio

[Mitochondrion Bro @mitoissickbro]

Folds on our inner membrane called cristae allow for maximum surface area of the inner membrane! #cellvote16 @bulleribio

[Mitochondrion Bro @mitoissickbro]

A structure inside of us called the matrix holds all of our DNA and the Ribosomes! #cellvote16 @bulleribio

[Mitochondrion Bro @mitoissickbro]

Our outer membrane has tiny cross-membrane proteins called Porins which allow for helpful molecules to enter us. #cellvote16 @bulleribio

[Mitochondrion Bro @mitoissickbro]

Our population increases or decreases based on the amount of energy the cell needs! #cellvote16 @bulleribio

[Mitochondrion Bro @mitoissickbro]

We produce ATP which stores energy to the cell we live in! Without us, you couldn't function! #cellvote16 @bulleribio

[Mitochondrion Bro @mitoissickbro]

We are in both plant and animal cells! #cellvote16 @bulleribio

[Mitochondrion Bro @mitoissickbro]

The @mitoissickbri has a double membrane to help protect it from bad things while only letting good things in. #cellvote16 @bulleribio

Why did the @ribosomes4all cross the road? To cause cancer.

[Mitochondrion Bro @mitoissickbro]

@ribosomes4all for ruining DNA and causing bone marrow failure, cancer, anemia, and many other ribosomopathies #cellvote16 @bulleribio https://t.co/gNgXV6y66d

[Ribosomes @ribosomes4all]

@mitoissickbri @bulleribio s/o to mitochondria for failing & causing cardiac disease, liver disease, diabetes, respiratory probs, & seizures

[Mitochondrion Bro @mitoissickbro]

Today is #NationalSandwichDay In honor of this we have highly folded membranes called Cristae resembling a sandwich #cellvote16 @bulleribio

[Mitochondrion Bro @mitoissickbro]

Not without ATP <3 ... #NoMoreATP5Your #cellvote16 @bulleribio https://t.co/RZRfdix8Ho

[Ribosomes @ribosomes4all]

Tiny but mighty! We are 10 million strong in a mammalian cell, and together we can join 200 amino acids per minute @bulleribio #cellvote16

[Mitochondrion Bro @mitoissickbro]

@ribosomes4all You will never penetrate my double membrane! Crooked Ribosomes. #NoMoreATP5You #cellvote16 @bulleribio

[Mitochondrion Bro @mitoissickbro]

@ribosomes4all thanks for the follow, maybe you should delete your twitter along with those DNA sequences #cellvote16 @bulleribio

[Mitochondrion Bro @mitoissickbro]

Shout out to the Ribosomes for deleting 30,000 DNA sequences and compromising protein structure #cellvote16 @bulleribio

Check out the new Cytoplasm's new mix tape, so bad, reflects his crooked rule over the cell. Vote mito bro.
