Midichlorians are the force-house of the cell

I love the explainxkcd meme of marking obviously true statements with [citation needed] and this one has a couple doozies:

Even a single star is far too big to fit in a cell. [citation needed]

The real Golgi was not and is not a tiny alien being who merged with our cells, as the comic and title text imply. [citation needed]

Lithosphere and mantle. Got it. 👍

Hypoallergenic filling is technically correct

The cell as seen by a molecular biologist:

Inside

Nucleus

Outside

Gene/protein of interest

Same. Mine has the nucleoloulous on the right.

Mine has McAfee in stead of Norton Antivirus

Antivirus is not enough! Use Protegent!

Man of course our cells have both a weak spot and a drain plug. Engineers, man.
