see the joke is, in the USA, if you were taught in public schools, you were told the “mitochondria is the power house of the cell” as an analogy. you were told this many times, on repetition
At my school, they showed a video about all the different parts of the cell where each part was a character with a different “job” and looking back it was pretty racist. I specifically remember that the Lysosome was a garbage man with a Mexican accent. Very cool science video for children… very cool 🫤
One of my profs described the nucleus as the “power house of cell operation”. You could just about measure the speed of sound by tracking the wave of students’ faces transitioning to pure confusion.
Some chaotic evil shit right there. That mofo knew exactly what he was doing.
In a round about way isnt it accurate though? Biological potential chemical energy that gets created/saved/processed in the mitochondria is eventually turned to power the moment the cell converts it to kinetic energy for work.

As they say, out with the old, in with the nucleus.
I learned about it from Parasite Eve.
