mitochondria cause its the “powerhouse of the cell”
what even is a powerhouse??
the c r a a a z z y thing about mitochondria is that it's a completely separate organism!!!! what the fuck!!!!! it has it's own genetic code.
and there is no known life existing without them????
it is
the perfect roommate of the cell.idk how to use the word more
you can use it to debunk "race science" by way of "mitochondrial eve" but I almost never get to pull that one out.
Prokaryotes do not have mitochondria. Prokaryotes outweigh animals about 40:1, so we shouldn't overlook them.
