Everyone says it’s the mitochondria, but my teacher with a degree says it’s the nucleus. Who do I believe?
In: Biology
It probably a misunderstanding. The mitochrondia produce the power, but the nucleus controlls everything. Command Center vs Power Plant.
The word “powerhouse” can occassionally be used to mean “most important” or “most powerful” which would indeed be the nucleus, but that is not what is meant here. You teacher probably is just thinking of it that way.
