The cell is the cell of the cell
Cells within cells within cells, interlinked
And blood-black nothingness began to spin… A system of cells interlinked within cells interlinked within cells interlinked within one stem… And dreadfully distinct against the dark, a tall white fountain played.
Cells.

the mitochondria is the cell of the cell
The cell wall is the wall of the cell
Finally one I can remember
For real? Any tips for those of us having problems?
The cell membrane is the thin veneer of respectability of the cell
Phew. Ok. Ive got that one down.
Depending on the day.
Non-anglophones, is this a thing you can relate to? I’ve never been told “das Mitochondrium ist das Kraftwerk der Zelle” or anything like it, at least not nearly to the extent that anglophones seem to, so much so that it’s forever burnt into their brain folds apparently.
All of us who learned Spanish in the U.S. also know “¿Dónde está la biblioteca?”
Just a bunch of canned phrases like that kicking around in our brains.
The FitnessGram Pacer test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues.
The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal bodeboop.
What is going on at your schools?!
All I remember from Spanish class is “no en nintendo”
As a Canadian, I share your confusion. I think that phrase was just a common descriptor of mitochondria in US textbooks, or a catchy line in a popular US biology video.
It’s just strange enough to make a big impression on bored students, so I’m not surprised it’s been memed so hard.
I think it was tossed around on Reddit a lot, too, back in the day, increasing its permeation through our ilk
As a German, I’ve definitely learned that in school. Maybe it was memes by then as well, but it being the late 90s I doubt it.
Same!
i don’t even remember learning about the mitochondrion in school lmao
ngl this would help in high school equivalent biology class decades ago lol
The midichlorian is the light saber of the cell.
[Playful] Don’t force it there.
Thank you so much for using the singular, that’s a real bugbear of mine.
The cell walls are the walls of the cells :p
the cell is stored in the walls
The cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein is the office guy who’s always around but nobody knows what his job is.
of the cell
This shit gives me existential dread and hope.
Like the complexity of cells might as well be an alien civilization, but all that somehow results in something that it’s like to be me. That’s so fundamentally mysterious, all I can do is conclude that consciousness has to be the prior of the universe. So on the one hand I’m nothing, and on the other, maybe I’m immortal. I won’t know until I’m dead.
The Undertaker threw Mankind off hell of the cell
Welcome to the slaughterhouse; I’m autosome
This is absoplasmic reticulous.
Sadly, humans don’t have chloroplasts.
unironically it’s pretty strange that i’ve never even heard of people trying to rectify this, surely someone has tried plonking some choloplasts in a skin cell culture and seeing how it goes?

I really wish we could photosynthesize. I hate having to poop.
It takes so much time out of the day. It’s boring.
Eh, it can work with artificial light. I’ll just convert my gaming room to a grow house.
Love it
Yeah, it’s such a shit time.
There’s a wall on that cell, like some sort of… Cell wall-
Wait, say that again
The Vault is the _____ of the cell?
