Mitochondrion

Mitochondrion  ||  ||  || Chondrion= Small cartilage ||  ||  ||
 * When was the mitochondria discovered? || The mitochondria was discovered in1890.
 * By whom was the mitochondria discovered? || Richard Altmann discovered the mitochondria.
 * What type of microscope was used to discover the mitochondria. || The type of microscope that was used to discover the mitochondria was the light microscope.
 * What do the parts of the mitochondria mean? || Mitos=thread
 * What is the function of the mitochondria? || They break down nutrients that creates energy for the cells.
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #38761d; font-family: &#39;EB Garamond&#39;; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;">What is the general structure for a mitochondria? || <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #6aa84f; font-family: &#39;EB Garamond&#39;; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;">The mitochondria is made up of two membranes. The outer membrane covers the organelle while the inner membrane folds numerous times to create layered structures called cristae.
 * <span style="color: #38761d; font-family: &#39;EB Garamond&#39;; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;">Is there anything special about the molecular makeup of the mitochondria? || <span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: &#39;EB Garamond&#39;; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;">The mitochondria have a double membrane around them. The double membrane is made out of a phospholipid bilayer and proteins. ||

 * ===<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: &#39;EB Garamond&#39;; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;">What types of cells contain mitochondria Why? === || <span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: &#39;EB Garamond&#39;; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;">Plant cells and animal cells both contain mitochondrions. A plant cell needs mitochondrions because they need to produce ATP which helps release minerals in plant cells. In an animal cell mitochondrions are important because they produce the majority of the cells energy. ||
 * ===<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: &#39;EB Garamond&#39;; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;">Which type(s) of cells require large numbers of the mitochondria? Why? === || <span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: &#39;EB Garamond&#39;; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;">Plant and animal cells both require large quantities of mitochondrions. They have 1,000-2,000 mitochondria per cell. They need a large amount of them because they have to produce large quantities of energy in order to survive. ||
 * ===<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: &#39;EB Garamond&#39;; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;">Give an example of a cell in the human body that would use the mitochondria. === || <span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: &#39;EB Garamond&#39;; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;">Muscle and liver cells need mitochondria because they help with movement, growth, and energy. ||
 * ===<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: &#39;EB Garamond&#39;; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;">Does the mitochondria work in conjunction with any other organelles? If so which ones and how do they interact? === || <span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: &#39;EB Garamond&#39;; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;">They mainly work alone, but the mitochondria works with the microtubules. The mitochondria helps them move in both plant and animal cells. ||

Phone : Phone charger <span style="color: #38761d; font-family: &#39;EB Garamond&#39;; font-size: 13pt; vertical-align: baseline;"> B. Cell : Mitochondria <span style="color: #38761d; font-family: &#39;EB Garamond&#39;; font-size: 13pt; vertical-align: baseline;">The mitochondria is like a cell phone charge because the charger is giving the phone energy. The phone charger plugs into the phone then passes energy to the battery. Then, the battery releases the energy throughout the phone. The mitochondria is the “powerhouse” of the cell and breaks nutrient down to create energy. Then, the mitochondria releases the energy throughout the cell.
