originally were bacteria that were absorbed by
                    more complex cells.
                  Different mitochondria produce different proteins.
                    Some mitochondria can produce hundreds of
                    different proteins used for various functions.
                  In addition to energy in the form of ATP, they also
                    produce small amounts of carbon dioxide.

             Activity:
             1) What is the Mitochondria's job?
                      To make energy
                      To protect the cell
                      To allow certain molecules into the cell
                      To make proteins
                      To hold genetic information
             2) How many mitochondria are in a cell?
                      1
                      2
                      12
                      1,000
                      Depends on the complexity of the cell.
             3) What molecule do mitochondria use to make energy?
                      DNA
                      RNA
                      ATP
                      ADP
                      JPN
             4) The mitochondria take food particles and combine
             them with:
                      Carbon Dioxide
                      Nitrogen
                      Water
                      Hydrogen
                      Oxygen
             5) Another word for cellular respiration is:
                      Moving
