  1. Time for a quick Biology quiz! 🧬 Do you know which organelle is the "powerhouse of the cell"?
    ​It's the Mitochondrion! This vital organelle generates most of the cell's energy (ATP) to power its activities. ⚡️ Perfect for ages 12+! Keep learning with #5SecondDaily.

  2. The #mitochondrion represents a #biological singularity, a discrete #evolutionary event that fundamentally partitioned life on #Earth into two distinct energetic stratums: the #prokaryotic and the #eukaryotic. While colloquially reduced to the moniker of "cellular powerhouse," the mitochondrion is, in functional reality, a highly integrated endosymbiont that serves as the master regulator of eukaryotic physiology

  3. #Mitochondrial proteins are synthesized with presequences that target them to the #mitochondrion, but why are some more efficient than others? This study identifies presequences which recruit Hsp90 co-chaperones & TOMM34 to confer prioritized import efficiency @PLOSBiology plos.io/4m6spBN

  4. How #Trypanosomes keep their mitochondrial genome fems-microbiology.org/femsmicr

    The parasite #Trypanosoma brucei lives and replicates in insect vectors like the fly. During the mating process, both its #nucleus and #mitochondrion replicate and exchange their genetic information, while the mitochondrial mechanism is still incompletely understood.
