A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Wouldnt adenosine triphosphate be the real energy and mitochondria just stealing credit for the work of its children?
I mean, ATP would be more like the batteries, yeah. The mitochondria would be the whole power plant, and the little spinny generators would be the big spinny generators.
Sort of?
ATP basically packages the energy, like wires, or the battery.
But the power-house/generator that makes them would be the mitochondria under most circumstances, since one of the main mechanisms to do that lies within the mitochondria.
mitochondria is called a parasite for a reason...
