Mitochondria are known as the<em> powerhouses</em> of the cell. They are organelles that act like a digestive system which takes in nutrients, breaks them down, and creates energy-rich molecules for the cell.

Mitochondria Structure

Mitochondria are shaped perfectly to maximize their productivity. They are made of two membranes. The outer membrane covers the organelle and contains it like a skin. The inner membrane folds over many times and creates layered structures called <em>cristae</em>. The fluid contained in the mitochondria is called the <em>matrix. </em>

The folding of the inner membrane increases the surface area inside the organelle. Since many of the chemical reactions happen on the inner membrane, the increased surface area creates more space for reactions to occur.

The outer membrane is technically the skin and covers the organelle.

The inner membrane folds over many times and creates layered structures called cristae.

La respuesta correcta para esta pregunta abierta es la siguiente.

Las situaciones más comunes en las que los estudiantes usan el teléfono celular de la manera incorrecta son las siguientes.

-Se la pasan perdiendo el tiempo jugando sus juegos de video.

-Se la pasan viendo videos de sus series favoritas.

-Se la pasan escuchando música.

-Se la pasan ch*teando gran parte del tiempo.

-Se la pasan en las redes sociales, entrando a las páginas de los demás.

Todas estas actividades los distraen y no les proporcionan nada productivo. Les quitan el tiempo y no les aportan nada que valga la pena.

Por esa razón, tanto en casa como en la escuela, padres y profesores deben ser muy estrictos en monitorear el uso que los hijos le dan al teléfono celular.
