Oxytoxisome

Organelle Details
Oxytoxisome
Base Cost (MP)	55
Requires Nucleus	No
Processes	OxyToxy Synthesis, Glycolysis
Enzymes	None
Size (Hexes)	1
Osmoregulation Cost	1
Storage	0
Unique	No
Upgrades	None
Internal Name	oxytoxyProteins

Modified Metabolosome which produces OxyToxy , an agent that can be fired as a toxic projectile. Inferior version of the Toxin Vacuole.

Requirements

If organelle upgrades are enabled in game settings, the following condition must be true for the player cell:

• Has engulfed at least 5 cells throughout the game so far.

Processes

OxyToxy Synthesis: ATP → OxyToxy @ Oxygen

Produces OxyToxy , but much less efficiently than Toxin Vacuoles. Rate scales with the amount of environmental Oxygen .

Glycolysis: Glucose → ATP

Like many prokaryotic organelles, the Cytoplasm surrounding an Oxytoxisome performs a less efficient form of Glycolysis, transforming Glucose into ATP .

Modifications

No modifications.

Effects

If a cell has at least one Oxytoxisome, it can shoot toxin projectiles, draining stored OxyToxy to do so. These projectiles damage cells of other species, but don't harm members of the species that fired them.

Damage scales with the amount of Oxytoxy fired.

Upgrades

No upgrades.
