That was an informative video, thanks for sharing!
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
Current thought is that mitochondria were smaller lifeforms first absorbed by a more complex cell.
Just wait until you read about eyeballs.
