★ Mitochondria is called the power house of cell.
★ Some facts about mitochondria:
- They can quickly change shape and move around the cell when needed.
- When the cell needs more energy, the mitochondria can reproduce by growing larger and then dividing. If the cell needs less energy, some mitochondria will die or become inactive.
- Mitochondria are very similar to some bacteria. For this reason, some scientists think that they originally were bacteria that were absorbed by more complex cells.
- Different mitochondria produce different proteins. Some mitochondria can produce hundreds of different proteins used for various functions.
- In addition to energy in the form of ATP, they also produce small amounts of carbon dioxide.
