(sh.itjust.works)
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.
mitochondria is called a parasite for a reason...
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.
