The Mitochondria, the Lysosome, and the Golgi! (More about your cells)

We are going to start with the mitochondria (my to kon drea)! A way to remember the mitochondria, is "the mighty mitochondria"!The mitochondria is the power source of a cell. Just like a power plant for a city! The mitochondria is shaped like a bean with a squiggly line across the middle. How does the mitochondria work? Well, your body digests the food you eat, turning it into smaller nutrients that go to the cell. The cell breaks some of the nutrients turning it into fluid. The fuel is then sent to the mitochondria were it is burned. When it is burned the fuel makes energy!
