In every scientific investigation, there are different variables. These include:
Independent variables: These are the variables that are supplied by the researcher and often varied to produce different effects. It is often referred to as the 'cause' variable.
Dependent variables: These are variables that are measured in the course of research. They are a result of the effects of the independent variable on the experimental subjects or groups. They are otherwise known as 'effect' variables.
Constant variables: Variables that are applicable to all experimental groups and are usually kept constant.
Also, there are different groups in research:
Control group: The reference group. The group that is not fed with the independent variable and forms the basis for comparison in order to understand the effects of the independent variable.
The experimental group: The group that is fed with the independent variable.
A mitochondrion is a round to oval-shaped organelle found in the cells of almost all eukaryotic organisms. It produces energy, known as ATP, for the cell through a series of chemical reactions
