Why does everyone know this, but still think the definition of "metabolism" is solely built towards fake weight loss regiments? Bit of a tangent.

I learned about mitochondria from Parasite Eve. Damn I wish they'd remake that.

came here to say this. hopefully they don't become sentient and destroy the island of manhattan... or maybe it's not a bad idea afterall

I came here to say the same as well! Every time I see the word mitochondria I immediately return to fighting that T-Rex and those awesome green weapon range domes. What an excellent game.

thankfully grammar isnt science

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No, but in other examples, incorrect grammar can make a statement scientifically incorrect.

this is why science is written with lots of care and they use Latin words and phrases that cannot be misunderstood
