Marvelous Mitochondria
By: Caitlin and Andrea
I wonder what mitochondria are... What do they do? How do they work? Why are they marvelous?
''POWERHOUSE'' of the Cell Mitochondria are organelles in both plant and animal cells that function in energy production. They are the site of cellular respiration, which creates the fuel for the cell.. They have their own DNA and ribosomes!
Mitochondrial DNA are very important- they can help find criminals, trace family lineages, and diagnose diseases. This video shows how mitochondrial DNA works.
We chose the song ''Take on Me'' by a-ha becuase its a very energetic song, and mitochondria contribute the energy for the cell. Cells also ''take on'' mitochondrial DNA.
Find out about Mitochondrial Diseases!
