Internal Name	mitochondrion

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 → ATP @ Oxygen

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
