| - Mitochondria are organelles which are in cells, they are sometimes described as "cellular power plants," because they convert organic materials into energy in the form of ATP via the process of oxidative phosphorylation. Usually a cell has hundreds or thousands of mitochondria, which can occupy up to 25% of the cell's cytoplasm. From Health Wiki, a Wikia wiki.
- Mitochondria are the scum of the prokaryote (Greek: Without karaoke, referring to how primitive many single celled organisms are) world. They scrounge off us humans and we never get a word of thanks. I personally feel very insulted.
- Mitochondria (singlular Mitochondrion) from the Greek for "thread granule" are discrete organelles that appear in most cells that have a nucleus. In human physiology, they play the primary role in attaching phosphates (from combining oxygen with glucose) to adenosine diphosphate to form adenosine triphoshate, the source of energy most commonly used in cellular functions. In addition, they play a role in other cell functions such as differentiation, cell growth and cell death.
- Mitochondria were intracellular structures in biological lifeforms that played a key role in metabolism. They, a class of organelles, were believed to have originated from a symbiotic relationship between an ancient unicellular organism and another that had entered it. (VOY: "Once Upon a Time") During a scan of Aldean DNA in 2364, Doctor Beverly Crusher was able to confirm that mitochondrial deficiencies were not responsible for the Aldeans' sterility.

- Mitochondria were intracellular structures in biological lifeforms that played a key role in metabolism. They, a class of organelles, were believed to have originated from a symbiotic relationship between an ancient unicellular organism and another that had entered it. (VOY: "Once Upon a Time") During a scan of Aldean DNA in 2364, Doctor Beverly Crusher was able to confirm that mitochondrial deficiencies were not responsible for the Aldeans' sterility. (TNG: "When The Bough Breaks" ) Mitochondrial structure was recorded by the transporter, and often useful for identifying remains following a transporter accident. In 2367, Doctor Crusher compared the mitochondrial structure from the remains of Vulcan Ambassador T'Pel to that of her last transport. The discrepancies between the remains and the transporter pattern led Crusher and Lieutenant Commander Data to deduce that the remains had been replicated, indicating Romulan treachery. (TNG: "Data's Day" ) Elias Giger claimed Doctor Bathkin of Andros III believed he could keep cells energized by "teaching them new mitochondrial tricks". (DS9: "In the Cards") In 2372, Julian Bashir studied plants on Bopak III that had adenosine triphosphate forming enzymes in their mitochondria, while trying to see what had "cured" Goran'Agar of his addiction to the Dominion's ketracel-white. (DS9: "Hippocratic Oath") The Doctor gave Naomi Wildman a lesson on cellular biology in early 2375. Mitochondria were part of the topic; The Doctor compared them to potatoes in appearance, while Naomi likened them to "the warp core of the cell." (VOY: "Once Upon a Time") Multiphasic prions initially attached themselves to the mitochondrial walls before migrating to the cell membranes. (VOY: "Good Shepherd")
- Mitochondria (singlular Mitochondrion) from the Greek for "thread granule" are discrete organelles that appear in most cells that have a nucleus. In human physiology, they play the primary role in attaching phosphates (from combining oxygen with glucose) to adenosine diphosphate to form adenosine triphoshate, the source of energy most commonly used in cellular functions. In addition, they play a role in other cell functions such as differentiation, cell growth and cell death. The number of mitochondria in a cell largely depends on its function. Some cells may contain just one while others may contain thousands (like the cells of the liver). Mitochondria has its own DNA, discrete from that found in the rest of the cells of the body. All mitochondria in the human body descend from the mitochondria in the female egg cell. Although sperm cells contain mitochondria to drive the flagellum, they are not involved in reproduction. Several diseases are related to the function of mitochondria. Among the ones that are related to mitochondrial function are diabetes mellitus, MERRF syndrome, Wilson's disease, Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and Alzheimer's disease.
