Kidney stones!
Mom power.
To be honest I’m surprised that looking at this picture the first thing that came to my mind was mitochondria and not amoeba. I don’t even remember the last time I had any lessons about biology.
It’s why it’s the powerhouse of the cell.
all I vaguely remember is osmosis and mitosis
(and my hot biology teacher)
?
Mitochondria are matrilineal.

I guess mitochondrial DNA
whispers across the aisle: (its the powerhouse of the cell)
(and mitochondrial DNA is inherited exclusively from the mother)
SHHHHh teacher is going to hear
He can’t hear you. His ears are packed with gauze.
Most of the time.
Current thought is that mitochondria were smaller lifeforms first absorbed by a more complex cell.
Sounds weird, but also, we have more bacteria living in and on our bodies than we have cells with “our own” DNA.
Makes you wonder where we each really start and stop.
Just wait until you read about eyeballs.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN???
WE STOLE EYE PIGMENTS FROM BACTERIA? FRIGGIN AMAZING.
