Mitochondria are self-replicating organelles that occur in various numbers, shapes, and sizes in the cytoplasm of all eukaryotic cells. Mitochondria play a critical role in generating energy in the eukaryotic cell. Mitochondria generate the cell's energy by oxidative phosphorylation, using oxygen to release energy stored in cellular nutrients (typically pertaining to glucose) to generate ATP. Mitochondria multiply by splitting in two. Respiration occurs in the cell mitochondria.

If a biologist said that the human body might be getting its power from bacteria he would be referring to energy cells that utilize bacteria by producing energy bacteria in our intestinal tra?
More than likely, he is referring to the theory that Eukaryotic cells like ours took on a simbiotic relationship with a rod like bacteria to create Mitochondria. Mitochondria are the organelles that efficiently produce ATP (Cell energy). Mitochondria have distinct DNA from the cell they inhabit and have a distinct bacteria like stucture. They also have the ability to reproduce on their own within the cell when higher energy production is necessary.

What is the nature of the mutualistic relationship you share with your intestinal bacteria?
In any mutualistic relationship, both parties are helped in a way. In the case of humans and bacteria, the human cannot digest all of the food that it eats. The bacteria eat the food that the human cannot digest and partially digest it, allowing the human to finish the job. The bacteria benefit by getting food, and the human benefits by being able to digest the food it eats.
