Golgi Body

Just workin on some enzymes, proteins, and lipids to ship out to the places they need to be. All in a days work

After something moves through my cisternae, I put it in a secretion vesicle that fuses with the membrane. BOOM-- exocytosis! #workinwonders

As part of the endomembrane system, I work with other organelles to get things from the nucleus to the plasma membrane #teamplayer

Just got a shipment of lipids and proteins from my old friend, ER. Can't wait to put on the finishing touches before they go on their way!

#funfact my membrane folds are called cisternae. they're divided into three main parts that each have their own protein-modifying enzymes

Did you know that I'm a relatively large organelle, so I was one of the first to be discovered and studied in detail? #pioneergolgi #first

Putting the finishing touches on some proteins before they go out to do great things in the cell! #lovemyjob #hardworkinorganelle

[Golgi Body @officialgolgi]

Inside my stack of folded membrane pancakes is where all the action happens. It's where proteins and lipids are finished #allinadayswork

Did you know defective ribosomes can cause anemia and a higher risk of cancer? You can't trust them! #irresponsibleorganelle #votegolgi

Nucleus malfunction causes cystic fibrosis, resulting in digestive, respiratory, and other problems #knowwhoyourevotingfor #dictatornucleus

Just shipped out some proteins in vesicles to go out into the cell to follow their destiny #TheyGrowUpSoFast #organelleelection2014

Can you believe that chloroplasts have their own DNA?! I bet they are planing to overthrow the government.Then Eukarya will never have peace

[Golgi Body @officialgolgi]

Mitochondria, what's this I hear about you causing Alzheimers, heart disease, and even more horrible things? #organelleelection2014

[Golgi Body @officialgolgi]

Um so lysosome malfunction can cause Tay-Sachs disease, which kills those affected before they turn five #notcool #golgiforthegold

[Golgi Body @officialgolgi]

Have you seen all of the things that go wrong with these other organelles?? https://t.co/eENFjIGEpr #dontgotmyvote
