The powerhouse of the cell. Mitochondria perform Aerobic Respiration, or the conversion of Glucose 
into ATP 
with the use of Oxygen 
. Mitochondria perform this function more efficiently than other organelles such as Metabolosomes.
Requirements
A cell must have a Nucleus to evolve Mitochondria.
If organelle upgrades are enabled in game settings, both of the following conditions must also be true for the player cell:
- Contains Metabolosomes for at least 7 generations in a row.
- Produces at least +20 ATP .
Processes
Aerobic Respiration: Glucose + Oxygen → ATP
One of the main methods of energy production, superior to that in Metabolosomes. Requires a steady influx of Glucose . Rate scales with the concentration of environmental Oxygen .
Modifications
No modifications.
Effects
No effects.
Upgrades
No upgrades.
Strategy
In environments with plentiful Glucose , Mitochondria are indeed the powerhouses of the cell. Be aware though that Glucose concentrations decrease as the game progresses, so we recommend switching to alternative energy sources if possible.
We also recommend replacing Metabolosomes with Mitochondria after evolving a Nucleus for far greater efficiency.
