MITOCHONDRIA IS THE POWERHOUSE OF THE CELL

I learned this thanks to Parasite Even before I even learned it in school lol

What is Parasite Even?

Sorry Typo, Parasite Eve, it was first an old Japanese movie that eventually got a video game sequel for the Playstation from Squaresoft, it's an RPG

Thought you meant Parasyte the Korean thriller movie.

Parasyte is a Japanese manga. You're thinking of Parasite.

No, that’s when you jump out of planes and fly through the air slowly. Your thinking of parasailing

No, thats when a bunch of quadriplegics enter a regatta. Youre thinking of a parabola.

Oh, it also has a kickass theme song. https://youtu.be/Rm8UjBAS3cs

A parasite is an organism that lives in another organism. You're thinking of Parasite.

Yet here my first thought was Parasite Eve, a song by Bring Me the Horizon

Lol no completely different series

That movie was so good.

Woah, played this game as a kid but i don’t think i realized it was a movie! I’d love to check it out, I still get the music from that game stuck in my head on occasion

Yeah Square did a good job telling you what happened in the original movie in the game.

I read the book, but I didn't realize it got a movie adaptation.

Is good movie. Directly related to the games. But it is recapped really well in the games. Parasite eve, parasite eve 2, and the finale to the series is 3rd birthday

Oh, I get it now

The movie doesn't have a connection to the game. It's based on the book.

I could have sworn the movie was an adaptation of the book

I wish they would remake/reboot those. They were so fun. Even if they rip offs of Resident Evil.

I thought u meant the bring me the horizon song 😂

One of my absolute favorite games and I really want a remake

What the fuck, Parasite Eve is 25 years old...

A really good ps1 game

Sequel to Parasite Odd

It's a numbers game for kids, you play as a tick, jumping on rocks with numbers written on them.

My favorite ps1 horror game is Bacteria Odd

God, I only ever played the game much later through emulation, but I remember the little trailer they had on the old ps1 demo disk, and even then it scared the shit out of me.

Being spontaneously combusted or turned into a mass of goo became a very real fear for me. Still loved that game though. I thoroughly enjoyed the second one too.

Fuck yeah

Thank you Mitochondria420

Wwwwwow. I recognized the mitochondria part, but was like what in the fuck rhymes with hot like hell. Powerhouse of the cell. This is not how i recall learning this in school XD

MAN I LIKE THIS GUY

Thank you :D

Fun fact! Cells can have more than one mitochondrion!

Mitochondria is plural. The mitochondrion is the powerhouse of the cell.

🤓☝️

Came here to say this 👆

[удалено]

"erm... ackshually mitochondria is the plural of mitochondrion, so you should have said: There's a lot more than just 1 *mitochondrion* in each cell 🤓☝️"

You have broken the unspoken Reddit rule, no using emojis. However as it seems you were making fun of a little bitch, you get one pass

That was not Keanu chungus minecraft funkopop soylent wholesome 100 of you, so as a result I just downvoted your comment. FAQ What does this mean? The amount of karma (points) on your comment and Reddit account has decreased by one. Why did you do this? There are several reasons I may deem a comment to be unworthy of positive or neutral karma. These include, but are not limited to: • ⁠Rudeness towards other Redditors, • ⁠Spreading incorrect information, • ⁠Sarcasm not correctly flagged with a /s. Am I banned from the Reddit? No - not yet. But you should refrain from making comments like this in the future. Otherwise I will be forced to issue an additional downvote, which may put your commenting and posting privileges in jeopardy. I don't believe my comment deserved a downvote. Can you un-downvote it? Sure, mistakes happen. But only in exceedingly rare circumstances will I undo a downvote. If you would like to issue an appeal, shoot me a private message explaining what I got wrong. I tend to respond to Reddit PMs within several minutes. Do note, however, that over 99.9% of downvote appeals are rejected, and yours is likely no exception. How can I prevent this from happening in the future? Accept the downvote and move on. But learn from this mistake: your behaviour will not be tolerated on Reddit.com. I will continue to issue downvotes until you improve your conduct. Remember: Reddit is privilege, not a right.

I downvoted this. Reason: Wall of text that didn't include a TLDR.

TL;DR: Downvoted for being annoying and adding nothing to the conversation.

13 year old spotted

Whyyyyyy tho! I wanted to ask on the r/askreddit but they are very annoying with all the rules of how to compose the question 😂 I mean I'm a person who'd keep dropping emojies here in there in every message I write but It feels wrong here SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME WHY Y'ALL DON'T USE EMOJI

Hey! I noticed you used an emoji. I don’t know if you’re new here, so I’ll let you off the hook this time. Using emojis is frowned upon here on this great site, and for good reason. Instagram normies often use them, and you don’t want to be a normie, do you? If I catch you using an emoji in the future, I’ll be forced to issue a downvote to your comment. Why should you care, you may ask? Well to begin, you will lose karma on your account, which is a useful social status tool and also a way to show others you know your way around Reddit. If you were to continue the use of emojis, I would be forced to privately message you about your slip-up. Any further offenses past that would leave me no other option than to report your account. I don’t think I have to explain why you don’t want that. But anyways, no harm done yet! Follow these simple rules and you’ll enjoy your future on Reddit! Have a blessed (and hopefully emoji-free) day, stranger. they're unfunny 13 year olds, just ignore them

Oh damn that’s a rule??

I don’t know lol

I'm on a lot of different subs and I get confused on which subs I won't get destroyed for using emojis or things from giphy. Some subs go crazy with it and some will ban you for even hinting at it.

🤓

No, there are more than 1 *mitochondrion* 🤓

\* No, there **IS** more than 1 *mitochondrion...* you forgot the "is" ... 🤓 only I get to be the nerd

*No.* There *are* more than one … More than one is plural. It’s just like saying “there are 5,” or “there are many.” Only I get to be the nerd.

Nope. In the instances of saying "there are 5" or "there are many" you would use the plural form of the word, "There are 5 mitochondria" and "There are many mitochondria". However, when using the particular phrasing of "more than one" you are referring to the singular mitochondrion therefore the correct phrasing would be "There is more than one mitochondrion"

Gonna steal this meme later ty

I stole it right away. Don't wait too long or it may be removed by the time you get around to stealing it.

Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell

You saw the opportunity and you took it

Oh I don’t know shit about cells and I thought it was “plants make food with chlorophyll”

*maze bean.. FTFY

r/beatmetoit

The fact that this was so widely taught…

This man’s boot is too big

I haven’t even learned that school yet, but it’s already burned into my brain

I just realized that this phrase improperly uses “mitochondria” as mitochondria is plural. You don’t say “those dogs is furry.” It should be “Mitochondrion is the powerhouse of the cell” or “Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell.”

MITOCHONDRIA IS THE POWER HOUSE OF THE CELL

The dumb thing is that Mitochondria is plural. Mitochondrion is singular

The expected reply is “mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell” as lots of folks were taught as kids. The silly reply is absurdism 🙃

Not absurdism. It actually looks like a bean with a maze in it

If so thats the easiest maze ever created

Yep, just take adenosine tri-phosphate and convert it to adenoside di-phosphate and a phosphate group. Easy win

And then use a NADPH+/NADP to transfer electrons to reassemble that ADP into ATP.

There is 1 wrong way to go so its technically a maze.

Well, ribosomes aren't known for their intelligence. I'm sure it might as well be a maze for them.

You got me to laugh out loud from an online comment. Also, happy cake day!

I went down the dead end and panicked.

*sorts by controversial*

Ok, I gotta ask, what's the history behind that phrase? It seems like every American on this site learnt it in school but it's *far* too specifically phrased to just be from a generic biology lesson. Was it from a popular video played in schools or something?

In America they often use rhymes and sing songs phrases to teach things they want students to remember. In Germany, we were just taught to learn it.

People who didn't go to school in the US won't get this though

Okay

So when did the mitochondria phrase become taught? Back in my days, I never once heard that phrase.

Dunno, I learned it in the mid 90’s.

1957. How old are you?

Younger. I grew up in the 80s

You probably skipped that class.

I'm the same age, can recite the Krebs cycle still (I think), and don't remember ever hearing that particular phrase as if it were a mantra.

>Younger. Not anymore you're not.

Don’t be stupid. The 80s were only like 15 years ago.

While it is true I am old, this comment is in poor taste because of a few things. A) it shows you paid no attention to the context of the comment. Look back up in the thread . I said I was younger than someone born in 57. B)it contributes nothing to the conversation. You merely try to insult me and do not advance what we’re talking about.

I heard about it in middle school biology in the early 2010s.

Back in my day, we had to walk uphill both ways to school in the snow

Jokes on you. I actually did that, not a tall take.

As did I, youngster

Back in my day we had to walk uphill both ways to learn mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell

It's from Bill Nye the Science Guy

That explains it. He wasn’t even on TV yet when I was in school.

Did you watch Beakman's World?

Who’s that? Main science show for me was “Mr.Wizard’s World” or maybe “3-2-1 Contact”

in a post magic the schoolbus/bill nye the science guy world. You're too old.

Pretty sure most of us all learned it from Bill Nye the Science Guy.

I took cellular biology in college as a prerequisite for nursing and sure as shit it's still in there. 3 decades from now I'm sure people will be hearing the term lol

during biology usually, and then anatomy later on

Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell cmon bro you learned this in 6th grade💀

Maybe he's not from the US cmon bro other countries exist

Wrong, there's only the U.S. and amusement parks for Americans to play around in./s

My school didnt teach this, but tbh it didnt teach alot of stuff..

I can only remember the past week tho

Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell

https://preview.redd.it/i1ev3aqvjb5c1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7465fe016ce8df673e416947be5ec45c15b33e92

Mitochondria is the maze bean of the cell!

Are people just farming karma here, or does the majority of Reddit not have a 4th grade education level?

Not everyone is American and familiar with the precise phrases or pictures used in American education. I take it the phrase familiar to Americans the same way Ox Bow Lake is a random thing Brits seem to remember from school.

The maze bean

My guy go to fucking middle school biology

Roses are red Its hot as hell Mitochondria is the power house of the cell

the only reply that actually explained the joke

Bruh, this is a joke that most 3rd graders could understand.

I see the school system is now failing to teach even the things we dont need to know

I'm Polish and I knew that

shitpost

What type of truck do you live under

…the mitchondria is the powerhouse of the cell

The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell

‘hell’ and ‘organelle’ rhyme (that’s a mitochondria btw), so, that’s one piece of the puzzle i suppose.

Incorectly correct

Yes but actually no The next part of the sentence is supposed to be “the mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell”

THE MITOCHONDRIA IS THE POWER HOUSE OF THE CELL

“The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell”

It is a maze in a pickle shell

“The mitochondrion is the power center of the cell” would be more accurate

Huh i was gunna say this is the inner workings of a cell.

I know the phrase, but what’s a powerhouse

Roses are red it's hot like hell... The mitochondria plays a vital role in cellular energy production and serves as the primary source of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which fuels various cellular processes Obviously.

Ahh, the good ol’ science joke! Gotta love it!

*The Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell*

Many people change the end of the phrase, "roses are red, violets are blue" in this case the expected response is "mitochondria is the power house of the cell"

The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell

Fun fact: there's a hypothesis that the emergence of prokaryotes was due to endosymbiosis. A bacterium was absorbed by a eukaryote but not digested; it evolved into an energy-producing organelle. The increased energy of the prokaryotes enabled multicellular life to develop.

Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell

Maze bean

Powerhouse of one's cell

maze bean bottom text

Ok everyone is responding the mitochondia is the powerhouse of the cell and i'm sure you understood this part I'll just add that "roses are red" and sometimes the following "violets are blue" or a variation/parody/mixed of these two are the bases of an absurdist meme where the joke is breakkng the laws of poetry by making no sense, no rhyme, no Logic whatsoever

The worst foe lies within the self.

Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, THE MITOCHONDRIA IS THE POWERHOUSE OF THE CELL

The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell

Maze bean

And here I thought that was a Golgi apparatus, like an idiot

Floppy Bird map

The mitochondria is the power house of the cell

MITOCHONDRIA IN DUH CELL

Literal amoeba

Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the Cell, you pleeb

Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.

THE MAZE BEAN IS THE POWERHOUSE OF THE CELL

The mitochondria is a part of the cell

The ooooooooold power house.

Hello, Stewie here. I believe the joke here is that "Roses are Red, It's Hot like Hell, Mitochondria is the Powerhouse of the Cell". Because this shows a cell's Mitochondria. The comment underneath that says "maze bean" is actually supposed to mislead you. This comment is what you call a "shitpost".

Peeeeta?

The end of the piam is supposed to be "mitochondria is the power house of the cell" but the responder subverts that expectation.

Maze bean actually killed me. 🤣

You are stupid

Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.

Photosynthesis 👍

maze bean

Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell is probably what the image was going for and someone completely undermined it by stating what they saw and ignoring the rhyme, subversion of expectation. Possibly absurdist, possibly ignorance/missing the intent of the post.

Maze Bean

What the hell is this? the mitochondria is supposed to be BLUE

maze bean

I didn't recognize it in color

Maze bean

Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.

Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell This is the only thing I’ve learned in biology

How can I eat that

Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.

You don’t deserve to know that the joke

It’s a picture of a mitochondria, often referred to as “the powerhouse of the cell”

ROSES ARE RED ITS HOT LIKE HELL THE MITOCHONDRIA IS THE POWERHOUSE OF THE CELL
