Have you heard of a more fascinating organelle?
Unarguably the most important of a cell.
The mitochondria,
An energy producing monster.
Buy one in the next 90 seconds while we got our 50% offer.
It's the site of respiration in the cell.
Maybe evolved from symbiosis between 2 eukaryote cells,
But who can really tell?
The quadruple threat.
The outer membrane, inter membrane, inter membrane space and the matrix
Can you handle that?
The reason we need oxygen at all
And you breathe everyday so why not buy 'em all?
It's function is to create energy through aerobic respiration
So much going on it's hard to keep your concentration.
If you're a cell staying active then you'll need this
Especially the muscle cells of Chuck Norris

The mighty mitochondria produces ATP
It's the powerhouse for cell activity
Both plant and animal cells need it so its known internationally
And provides the energy eukaryotic cells will need
To move, divide, produce secretory products, and contract
Just give us a call and we'll ship it to you like that!
If the cell is the car,
Then the mitochondria's the engine that can that take it anywhere,
No matter how far!

Did we mention they got a double-membrane?
That's a double whammy so if you don't buy it then youre insane in the membrane
The inner membrane,
A structure that's very complex
It's the base for ATP synthesis
It forms folds we call the cristae,
Sticking around to rise up the SA
Surface area makes room for more oxygen, CO2, and water
If someone asks you about another organelle then don't even bother
The outer membrane is relatively simple
Keeping large molecules out like a cop with a whistle
So if you're over 10 kilodaltons you can't squeeze
But if you're ions, atp, or nutrient molecules you can pass with ease
The matrix contains the enzymes
Making sure reactions occur at the right times
Recyclables serve as energy shuttles
So it's a good thing the cristae got the organelle looking like ruffles
SA allows the shuttles to diffuse quickly to the inner membrane
You'd be picking up the phone and dialing by now if you had a brain

The mighty mitochondria produces ATP

Both plant and animal cells need it so its known internationally
And provides the energy eukaryotic cells will need

Then the mitochondria's the engine that can that take it anywhere,
No matter how far!

The mitochondrion aren't loners they work with others
Ribosome are inside the mitochondria making proteins to work with each other
And the mitochondria produces the most ATP, go ahead and try to name another.
Man, they're the only organelle with enough swag to have it's own circular DNA
What else do I got to say?
Pick up the phone and order yours today!
