Why vote for me?
The Golgi apparatus is the best choice for a an organelle because it is the most important. The cell would not be able to function without me, in fact if the Golgi isn't functioning correctly the cell will result in congenital glycosylation disorders, and some forms of muscular dystrophy which can lead to diabetes or cancer. I am in charge of modifying protein; after being brought to me I process the protein, then package it and send it to the other organelles that need my assistance.

The Golgi Body is in charge of processing and packaging proteins, while at the same time sorting and shipping them out wherever they need to go - yet, where do these proteins come from? Most, if not all proteins are manufactured at a similar construction site - known as the Endoplasmic Reticulum.
ReplyDeleteMy organelle takes proteins translated from ribosomes to undergo a process called folding - before sending them off in a vesicle to the Golgi Body. So, who would you say is the primary sender of these proteins? Clearly the Endoplasmic Reticulum!
Without my organelle, what proteins would you be packaging and shipping? I'll leave that to the public to decide.. :)
Clearly, without the Cytoskeleton, none of this would be possible. The Cytoskeleton provides internal support to the cell that keeps everything "held up" and "in place" if you will. Also, you wouldn't be able to transport the proteins to "other organelles that need my assistance", without the Cytoskeleton providing tracks and a way to get it there. Without me, nothing would be able to be transported and therefore providing disfunction within the cell, causing it not to function properly.
ReplyDeleteI, the centriole am pleased to disagree with you Golgi apparatus. Although you do indeed play a large role in preventing any diseases such as diabetes and cancer, I play an even bigger role in this department. I maintain the cell division of trillions of cells every second of everyday and in very few cases does the DNA in the cells face in completions or error resulting in me dividing cells too rapidly which is the main source of how cancer is formed. Since when have the majority of scientists turned towards the Golgi apparatus when something happens with cells?
ReplyDeleteWhat about that whole shipping ordeal you talk about as well? Yes you do ship it out to the other organelles that are in need of proteins but if I was not and organelle in the cell I’m afraid your orders will overflow slapping you in the face with large amounts of proteins, enough for the whole cell, just no transportation method to actually transport them throughout the cell.
Why is this true you ask? Well it’s quite easy to comprehend really. I am one of the main reasons why mitosis exists. If there was no me, the possibility for cell division would not be present. And what happens when cell mitosis does not occur? The cell becomes too large resulting in the difficulty to organelle movement AND transportation, aka one of your main priorities. So I guess it’s safe to say that I’m kind of a bigger deal then you.
Back up a few steps there, Golgi Apparatus! Without me, the ribsome, and the proteins that I produce, you would be without a job! I am the utmost reason that proteins even exist, so without me, you would have nothing to process! The ribosomes create the proteins, AKA your sole purpose and reason to live, thus making the golgi apparatus yet another "one-trick pony". My proteins, however, are responsible for many cell functions including, but not limited to, growth, reproduction, creating DNA, fighting viruses, and moving materials in and around the cell. Life (as well as your existence) is IMPOSSIBLE without me!
ReplyDeleteSee you in the cell!
