"2. Ribosome is pikas lightning attack because it transfers energy just like the ribosomes transfer proteins from transferred RNA"

"4. Ash represents the Golgi Apparatus/Complex because he goes through the process of training pikachu and protects him also"

"7. Pikachus cheeks are the mitochondria because they help him convert his electrical energy into lightning based attacks"

"9. Nurse Joy (Medical/Doctor) is the cytoskeleton because she helps pikachu stay in shape and be a well-structured pokemon!"

They're mostly supposed to be silly, but now that I go over them, some of em make a lot of sense (In my mind).

Oh, and what's your explanation for using a K/O'd Mudkip to represent a Lysosome? If anything Pikachu's lightning would make more sense as the function of the organelle is to destroy old/defective organic material from other organelles within the cell (and to initiate cell apoptis if and when necessary)...but I can see it working if you're focusing on it as the center where everything "goes to be recycled," I guess.

GMSInfighter Wrote:I said:

"5. Lysosome would be Pikachus enemy because it is broken down once it is effected by its attack"

That's probably the silliest one I wrote.

FrozNlite Wrote:*Affected. And the Lysosome isn't "broken down" when affected by something, IT breaks something down (ex. failing organelles, the cell itself) if that something else is affected in a negative way (ex. UV rays causing DNA mutation, which prompts Lysosome's to commit cellular apoptis in order to prevent cancer - aka why your skin dies and peels off after being sunburned).

GMSInfighter Wrote:I wrote it on my paper affected, but effected on here.. lul. Anyways, I don't think she expects too much out of us since we literally just learned Biology and all we know about these are the definitions and what they do. No need to correct me just because you major in Microbiology.

Good day sir.
