A platypus’ liver cell
Mitochondrion updated their Hometown to A platypus’ liver cell.
Perry the Platypus Thanks so much man! You definitely had my back today. If you hadn’t produced all that energy for my cells, I probably wouldn’t have defeated Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz.

Mitochondrion I just found out that I have a lot in common with Chloroplasts.

Friends
Mitochondrion I get called this enough, why not just change my name to the energy factory! Enough with the name calling.

Mitochondrion is now friends with ATP and two other people.
Ribo We did a great job at work today making protein. See ya tomorrow ;)

4. WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ME
MADE OF:
Outer Membrane
Inner Membrane
Inter Membrane
Cristae
Ribosome
DNA (Mitochondria had it’s own)
Mitochondrial Matrix
FUNCTIONS:
1. Converts the chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use
2. Produces ATP
3. Signals cellular differentiation
4. Signals cell death
5. Controls cell growth
MISCELLANEOUS:
Mitochondrion- Singular Form Mitochondria- Plural Form
Ranges from 0.5 to 10 micrometers in diameter
Mitochondria are often described as “Cellular Power Plants” because they produce the cell’s energy
Most cells have only one mitochondrion, but they can have several thousand
Mitochondria have their own DNA. This leads scientists to believe that Mitochondria were once single-celled organisms like bacteria
In humans, almost all mitochondria come from the ovum or egg of a cell. This means that mitochondria is almost always inherited from the mother.
Located:
In the Cell? In Cytoplasm outside of the nucleus
Type of Organelle? Nearly all eukaryotes; plants, animals, fungi, and protists
