Right now my AP Biology class is in a HUGE cell war. We have all split into partners, and were assigned different organelles of the cell. We now have to create an entire camapaign for our organelle to become the next cell president. The campagin includes a campaign video, poster, speech, a twitter feed, and our blogs (yay!). I am proud to announce that I am officially part of the Ribosomes cell presidential campaign of 2012!
What exactly is our campagin? Well How about I tell you what a Ribosome is first. Here is a little about their structure, function, and why you should vote Ribosomes 2012! :)
A Ribosome is an organelle that is found in both animal and plant cells. A Ribosome is responsible for the process of protein synthesis within the cell. The process of protein synthesis is when the Ribosomes copy strands of RNA to make proteins. Proteins are essential to the cell life because they have many different functions. (For more on exactly what proteins are, and why they are essential, check out my previous post!)
Now to the campagin...
Here is a picture of our campagin poster: (more to come)
There will be plenty more videos to come, along with updates on our campagin! If you have a twitter account you should follow us @RaRa_Ribosomes. You can then go to our cell war page at #shscellwar, and see the other organelles that we are competing against.
Enjoy the election!
For Now
Yours Truly,
The AP Bio Student
