      While we’re at it let me get something off my chest

      Mitochondria is plural. One powerhouse of the cell is a mitochondrion. Bacteria is also the plural of bacterium.

      Does this matter? Not really.

        Data used to be generally used as the plural of datum before it became generally used as a mass noun.

        It matters a little to me and I didn’t know that ‘mitochondria’ is plural. So thanks.

      I had a prof describe the nucleus as “the power house of cell function” and the confusion that statement caused was fucking palpable lol.
