Well, mitochondria are the energy supplying organelles.

Knowing this, the mitochondria is different in the cells of older people because its been damaged, its called Mitochondrial Aging. When mitochondria age, just like us, they get damaged. And when they get damaged they damage our age, in a sense that we get older. This is how it is different in older people.

Does mitosis ever stop in cells? explain your answer
BigorU [14]
Mitosis occurs after interphase (which is the phase that takes the longest) and is occurring all the time in your cells. Sometimes a cell will not go into a state of mitosis if an error is found during the interphase process (if it does, it's cancerous) . Some cells don't go through the process of mitosis, like neurons. But once a cell passes interphase without any errors, it will go into mitosis then cytokinesis. The process takes about one day and occurs when your body is repairing itself or if you're growing and developing. So yes, it happens all the time, just not in every single cell; just in most cells.

Based on this information, do you still think lions and tigers are separate species? (all responses will be marked correct.)
Ratling [72]

The cat species are extremely hard to tell apart as they all have pretty much the same anatomical structure, with the size usually being what differs them most easily. The lion and the tiger are no exceptions. Both species share pretty much the same anatomy, their size is similar, their genetics are almost identical, their behavior is largely the same. This can be very confusing as it seems like it is one species we are talking about, not two separate ones. The only obvious difference between the tiger and the lion is their fur. The tigers have orange base with vertical black stripes, while the lions are dark yellowish, with the males having a mane as well. The easiest way to check if its two different species in question is to see if they can produce healthy offspring. This is where we can see that it is different species we are talking about. While the lion and the tiger are able to produce offspring, the offspring is abnormally marge, much more than any of the parents. But what is more important is that the offspring is sterile, and very often comes with serious deficiencies, thus providing us with proof that it is two separate species.
