The powerhouse of the cell
Micro Miku🩵🧫
Get ready to go BACK TO SCHOOL!!
Infinitely more interesting than Mitochondria being "the powerhouse of the cell" is the fact that it has its own DNA separate from your DNA, because billions of years ago the ancestor of all eukaryotes had a symbiotic relationship with a species of bacteria and it sort of got embedded in it.
It'd be like if a billion years from now boxer crabs and sea anemones evolved into a single organism with 2 sets of DNA (4 sets including two different mitochondrial DNAs)

Heme, a bioactive form of iron, has numerous essential functions in the cell. As a key component of hemoglobin, it enables oxygen transport in the blood. In addition, it performs important functions in other proteins in processes ranging from energy conversion to signal transduction. However, it is potentially toxic when present at high concentrations as free heme. Cells must therefore carefully monitor heme levels and adapt accordingly. A team led by Professor Lucas Jae from LMU's Gene Center Munich has now discovered that mitochondria play a critical role in this process—and have done so for more than 700 million years, as the researchers report in the journal Nature.

"Okay, so around four years ago, I wrote an article on parasites, and in that little piece I dropped a bomb… or well… something I considered a bomb. Namely, that mitochondria (fondly referred to as the powerhouse of the cell) probably started off as bacteria or intercellular parasites that were essentially engulfed by nucleated cells, and have, since then, become an essential component of our cellular structure. Why is this a bomb, you might ask? Well, our science textbooks never told us that the organelle responsible for essentially keeping us alive (through energy production) was/is a parasite we just happened to form a symbiotic relationship with some two billion years ago?! It’s crazy."
