The Powerhouse, the Mitochondria by Scott Moritz https://padlet.com/smoritz5/tczncg35yg879a5w Pure Class Organelle en-us 2022-09-30 14:41:52 UTC 2025-10-08 20:04:05 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f574.png Why do I need This? smoritz5 https://padlet.com/smoritz5/tczncg35yg879a5w/wish/2321989208 There are those who sit idly by, and there are those who take action. Action can only occur with energy. The Mitochondria is that energy. Specifically, the primary role of mitochondria is oxidative phosphorylation, which generates ATP by utilizing the energy released during the oxidation of the food we eat. ATP is used in turn as the primary energy source for growth, movement, homeostasis, and other important cell functions. meaning the body cannot complete any actions without the energy to do so, the mitochondria is life itself. Power is in your hands with the mitochondria. The ability to choose what cells live and what cells die through the mitochondria's role in apoptosis. These are only two of the many reasons why you should invest in the luxurious, sophisticated, and powerful Mitochondria. Take action and separate yourself from the rest with the mitochondria. ]]> 2022-10-01 13:04:00 UTC https://padlet.com/smoritz5/tczncg35yg879a5w/wish/2321989208 What does your organelle look like? smoritz5 https://padlet.com/smoritz5/tczncg35yg879a5w/wish/2322907677 Sleek Design with a beautiful finish. Sized between 0.75 and 3 micrometers, it cannot completely be observed under a TEM, however, with proper preparation, you can observe it in all of its class with a SEM microscope. It is shaped in three different ways. A crisp oval design, luxury donut shape (with slight hole in the middle), or an organized circle of sorts. These different shapes are due to the fission process that they are believed to proliferate. ]]> 2022-10-02 21:15:08 UTC https://padlet.com/smoritz5/tczncg35yg879a5w/wish/2322907677 What can I expect when I receive it? smoritz5 https://padlet.com/smoritz5/tczncg35yg879a5w/wish/2322907730 This product works hard so you don't have to. Expect energy production in the form of ATP at fast rates. Expect to have real energy bursts that stay consistant to give you an edge in life. ]]> 2022-10-02 21:15:18 UTC https://padlet.com/smoritz5/tczncg35yg879a5w/wish/2322907730 What parts are included? smoritz5 https://padlet.com/smoritz5/tczncg35yg879a5w/wish/2322907838 When you buy the mitochondria, you get all of the listed items along with it, making it not only a smart purchase, but a luxury one as well;
Top Tier Outer Membrane: This is a permeable membrane that includes small pores called porins that allow the passage of proteins. The membrane itself also houses many different enzymes with different functions, adding to the sophistication. 


Mysterious Intermembrane space: This is the area between the inner and outer membranes that is empty on purpose. 

Magnificent Inner membrane: The inner membrane contains proteins with many roles. There are no porins in the inner membrane rendering it impermeable to most molecules unless they transfer across via special membrane transporters. The inner membrane is where most ATP is produced and created. 

Opulent Cristae: These are the folds of the inner membrane. Due to the spatial difference, they create more surface area for the chemical reactions to occur. 

Lavish Matrix: This is the space inside the inner membrane that contains hundred of enzymes vital to the production of ATP. Mitochondrial DNA is stored and located in this region.

The mitochondria is no exception. Essentially, the mitochondria can become defective and subsequently stop producing energy. What causes it to become defective, however, is  mutations in the mtDNA or nDNA which normally cause different functions in the proteins or RNA molecules that call the mitochondria home. Because the mitochondria cannot produce energy, this results in the extreme fatigue in body parts and organs, which can be very serious. This has been linked to diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and more. ]]> 2022-10-02 21:15:45 UTC https://padlet.com/smoritz5/tczncg35yg879a5w/wish/2322907956 Why is your organelle better than the other organelles? smoritz5 https://padlet.com/smoritz5/tczncg35yg879a5w/wish/2322908056 The mitochondria is perfect for heat production you'll find nowhere else. It's method of energy production is better than the chloroplast, and it is vital for life, unlike other competitors. It can create the very thing you need to do anything in life while still maintain other systems like the content of calcium. The mitochondria has the ability to kill all competition, you want that on your side. Quality speaks for itself. If you want to not only separate yourself from others, but show off, the mitochondria is for you. There are cheap rip-offs like the chloroplast which are perfect for close-minded people. You could get a cell membrane if you are a simple person, a cell wall for the people who live in their own box. If you like only having parts of a bigger whole then ribosomes and lysosomes are your product. If you like doing the most all the time then you are a rough endoplasmic reticulum kind of person. But, if you are a person of quality, one of sophistication, one of action, one above the rest; you are deserving of the mitochondria. ]]> 2022-10-02 21:15:58 UTC https://padlet.com/smoritz5/tczncg35yg879a5w/wish/2322908056 Pictures of the organelle with labeled parts smoritz5 https://padlet.com/smoritz5/tczncg35yg879a5w/wish/2322910520 2022-10-02 21:21:18 UTC https://padlet.com/smoritz5/tczncg35yg879a5w/wish/2322910520 List of functions of the organelle smoritz5 https://padlet.com/smoritz5/tczncg35yg879a5w/wish/2322910730
1. Production of ATP- gives you energy
This process is essential for ideal functioning of the body, and any dysfunctions can contribute to a variety of diseases. The process is called oxidative phosphorylation. In the matrix of mitochondria the reactions like Krebs cycle produce a chemical called NADH. NADH is then used by enzymes embedded in the inner membrane to generate adenosine triphosphate, or ATP.

2. Calcium Homeostasis- regulates calcium
Mitochondrial calcium exchange is the flow of calcium in and out of a cell’s mitochondria, this regulates the calcium in the cell and subsequently the body. 

3. Regulation of Innate Immunity- a personal security
Mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS) helps induce antiviral and anti-inflammatory pathways, which is a key role in the innate response to viral infections. 

4. Programmed Cell Death- playing the reaper
Mitochondria control the intrinsic pathway, releasing proteins during the process of apoptosis to kill off cells during stimuli.

5. Stem Cell Regulation- creating innovators
Mitochondria are thought to play crucial roles in the maintenance of pluripotency, differentiation, and reprogramming of induced pluripotent stem cells.
