PROTEIN SYNTHESIS******

[THE mitochondria @THEmitochondri4]

Doubting me? I have the resources to to keep you alive! I have ribosomes and enzymes to maintain photosynthesis, an essential process. no proteins = death

In this election, I am bringing a lot to the table, but I'm used to balancing several things because I can make hundreds of different proteins! This shows my impeccable ability to multitask, which will make me a great president!

[THE mitochondria @THEmitochondri4]

You know the saying be flexible? I think that is a wonderful idea, which is why I can change my shape when needed to move around the cell quickly! #OrganelleVote2018 #mitochandria

[THE mitochondria @THEmitochondri4]

Do you like oxygen? I know I sure do, but I believe in sharing with my friends! So, I help ferry oxygen to all of your body's tissues! #OrganelleVote2018 #mitochondria

[THE mitochondria @THEmitochondri4]

Have you ever skinned your knee? Or gotten a paper cut? Don't worry! I've got you covered (with a scab)! I help to maintain the right concentration of electrically charged calcium ions involved with blood clotting. #OrganelleVote2018 #mitochondria

How big do you think I am? (hint: power is not defined by size!) #smallbutmighty

[THE mitochondria @THEmitochondri4]

Keeping cells safe is my #1 priority! I promise to create antioxidant enzymes that will protect against free radical damage. Free radicals are highly reactive molecules produced through cellular respiration and can result in the death of a cell if not regulated #OrganelleVote2018

So #happy to see that all of the eukaryotic cells support me and allow me to help them!! It brings tears of joy to my eyes to see plant and animal cells finally agreeing on an important topic!! #OrganelleVote2018 #Mitochondria

[THE mitochondria @THEmitochondri4]

So much for the "brain" of the cell! The nucleus could not even pronounce Monocercomonoide! #OrganelleVote2018 #mitochondria @Nucleus00059760

[THE mitochondria @THEmitochondri4]

Unless you are a Monocercomonoide or chinchilla gut, which hopefully you aren't, then you need me! Before scientists looked at chinchilla guts (ew) , I was basically the whole definiton of a eukaryote! #OrganelleVote2018 #mitchondria #yuckychinchilliaguts

[THE mitochondria @THEmitochondri4]

What would you like to see being done when I am elected into office?

1. Combine my many smaller mitochondria to work together as one powerful group
2. Hire more mitochondria to work individually but for the same purpose

Comment your opinion below!! #OrganelleVote2018

Is cellular growth and multiplication important to you? It should be!! I believe in communication and I plan to create a network of tubules to enhance protein synthesis and to make sure every cell undergoes protein synthesis at the right time! #OrganelleVote2018 #Mitochondria

[THE mitochondria @THEmitochondri4]

Calling all nerve and muscle cells!! I vow to always be there for you, and all other cells, and I will bring backup!! You need more mitochondria than other cells and I understand this. As your president, I will never let you down #OrganelleVote2018 #Mitochondria

[THE mitochondria @THEmitochondri4]

As president, I promise to get rid of unneeded cells, carrying out the process of apoptosis, or programmed cell death. No more useless cells!! #productivity #workingcellsworkingmind #OrganelleVote2018 #Mitochondria

[THE mitochondria @THEmitochondri4]

Goodnight everybody!! just settling in for a long night of rest... JUST KIDDING!!! I never sleep and I never stop providing for you!! #OrganelleVote2018 #mitochondria #grindreallyneverdoesstop

[THE mitochondria @THEmitochondri4]

What are your plans for the future? I help with the production of future generations, because I am the site of production for hormones such as testosterone and estrogen! #babymakinghormones #OrganelleVote2018 #mitochondria

[THE mitochondria @THEmitochondri4]

Living organisms need food to live and I am SO proud to support every single one of them. With me as your leader, I promise I will continue to breakdown the nutrients from your food for you and turn that into ATP, something you can't live without

#sadfacesaturday for all of the prokaryotes out there who don't have my support :(((( #OrganelleVote2018 #mitochondria

[THE mitochondria @THEmitochondri4]

@Nucleus00059760 Silly nucleus! We have DNA ribosomes to maintain protein synthesis too! #OrganelleVote2018 #youarenotspecial #mitochondria

[THE mitochondria @THEmitochondri4]

The most successful leaders aren't the ones that talk the loudest but the ones that work the hardest, and I'm no exception. Although you can't see me unless specifically stained for, I can reassure you I'm always working hard to make life better for you!

Had such a fun time today storing calcium ions to help humans maintain the correct balance of electrically charged particles!! I was able to aid them in process that help blood clotting and and muscle contraction!! #OranelleVote2018 #supporthumans #Grinddoesntstop #mitochondria
