When you say a binary number, pronounce each digit (example, the binary number 101 is spoken as one zero one, or sometimes one-oh-one). This way people don't get confused with the decimal number.
The mitochondrion (plural mitochondria) is a double membrane-bound organelle found in most eukaryotic cells. The word mitochondrion comes from the Greek Î¼Î¯ÏÎ¿Ï, mitos, i.e. thread, and ÏÎ¿Î½Î´ÏÎ¯Î¿Î½, chondrion, i.e. granule or grain-like. Mitochondria range from 0.5 to 1.0 Î¼m in diameter. A considerable variation can be seen in the structure and size of this organelle. Unless specifically stained, they are not visible.
Key points: 1  Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, breaking down fuel molecules and capturing energy in cellular respiration. 2  Chloroplasts are found in plants and algae. 3  Mitochondria and chloroplasts likely began as bacteria that were engulfed by larger cells (the endosymbiont theory).
