| 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 + 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.
