“Mitochondria” is the plural of mitochondrion.
Mitochondria ***ARE*** the powerhouse of the cell.
Me whenever I hear the name Booker T. Washington or Eli Whitney.
Except in October when **fright**ochondria become the **haunted** houses of the cell.
I thought that mitochondrias are a microscopic life form that resides in all living cells, and we are symbionts with them—life forms living together for mutual advantage. Without the midi-chlorians, life could not exist, and we would have no knowledge of the Force.
Mitochondria?
The sad part is that it’s lost it’s meaning too. Like I know to say it, but I don’t really remember what that little motherfucker does
You sure y’all didn’t go thru T.A.H.I.T.I.?
In grad school, I was taking a Master’s-level biochemistry class. At the end of the semester, the professor asked us “What’s something we covered this semester, that you found to be interesting?”
Me: “The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.”
Prof, bursting into laughter: “Jesus Christ, I hope I taught you more than that.”
Billy Nye is the most successful part of MK Ultra
I will always credit *Parasite Eve* for teaching me this.
Not bluey but Duggy did a philosophy badge episode and one of characters said “let’s not forget about the categorical imperative.” I said to my 18 month old daughter “That deontology. Can you say deontological?” She gave me a thoughtful look and then said “No.” Fair doos little girl.
I do something similar whenever I hear the word mitosis
Blah, blah, blah, mitochondria
The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell
“Mitochondria are the warp core of the cell.”
The Greater Good.
I’m 37 and have still never needed this information.
The Mitochondrion Candidate
They also are what gives a Jedi their powers.
and sugar kills it.
Bro I looked it up recently to see if I could learn more about it and guess what I found in every reference from Wikipedia to medical books? “The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell”
To anyone who wants to learn more in a deep but casual way, I highly HIGHLY recommend the science of everything Podcast.
https://www.thescienceofeverything.net/
He has a few episodes deep diving on biology, but also covers fucking everything. And it’s a great example in how to learn and how to self-teach in general.
Highly recommend. Highly.
That’s the signal to play Parasite Eve with my kid.
Lots of y’all immediately think of Bill Nye.
I immediately think of [Parasite Eve](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQy8AqHoWMI).
I remember last year in science our teacher told us ‘mitochondria is the power PLANT of the cell’
Thanks Parasite Eve for teaching me.
Where did this rifle come from? How did I know how to assemble it? Oh well (*heads out*)
Also, hearing the word “inertia” immediately expands in my mind to “inertia is a property of matter”.
