Intro:
If there’s anything you humans remember from biology class, it’s that mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. But what does that really mean? After you digest your food, the byproducts make their way into your cells and eventually into the mitochondria. Here, they are broken down and made into a chemical called adenosine triphosphate or ATP. This is what your cells use to store and transport the energy they need to function, which is where the term “the powerhouse of the cell” comes from. Uh oh! This isn’t good! That process created waste products called FREE RADICALS!!! These guys can damage important parts of your cells, like mitochondrial DNA. Look at the mess they’re making! How do we fix this?
With the new Scarlet and Violet games out, it had me thinking, can humans evolve quickly like Pokemon? We can’t use stones or items to evolve you humans, but we can use science!
