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.
Mitochondria, which are found in nearly all eukaryotes, including plants, animals, fungi, and protists, are large enough to be observed with a light microscope and were first discovered in the 1800s. For many years after their discovery, mitochondria were commonly believed to transmit hereditary information.
