Journey to the Microcosmos
Is the Mitochondria Always the Powerhouse of the Cell?
It’s fun to watch organisms eat in the microcosmos. There’s a whole range of methods to enjoy. And at the core of all this is a simple, universal need: energy, stored chemically as adenosine triphosphate—or ATP—that’s made from the...
