Why does everyone know this, but still think the definition of "metabolism" is solely built towards fake weight loss regiments? Bit of a tangent.
I learned about mitochondria from Parasite Eve. Damn I wish they'd remake that.
came here to say this. hopefully they don't become sentient and destroy the island of manhattan... or maybe it's not a bad idea afterall
I came here to say the same as well! Every time I see the word mitochondria I immediately return to fighting that T-Rex and those awesome green weapon range domes. What an excellent game.
the mitochondria is the energy center of the cell
The oft repeated line is grammatically incorrect.
thankfully grammar isnt science
No, but in other examples, incorrect grammar can make a statement scientifically incorrect.
this is why science is written with lots of care and they use Latin words and phrases that cannot be misunderstood
it's at this point a joke seen in non science contexts
