Mitochondria are believed to have descended from ancient bacteria known as alpha-proteobacteria through a symbiotic relationship with early eukaryotic cells. This symbiotic relationship eventually led to the integration of the alpha-proteobacteria into the host cell, resulting in the formation of mitochondria.

Did dinosaurs have mitochondrian?
Considering that most eukaryotic cells have mitochondria and that dinosaurs are eukaryotes like all other animals that ever lived, it is certain that they did have mitochondria in their cells. In fact, birds are considered dinosaurs (they certainly descended from dinosaurs) and their cells have mitochondria, so we can be as sure as scientifically possible that dinosaurs indeed did have mitochondria.
What features do all animals and plants cells have in common?
Because way in the past they are descended form a common ancestor.
How do you use mitochondria in a help wanted ad?
Mitochondria help the body with all of it's metabolic reactions. In a help wanted ad, the mitochondria might be holding up a sign asking someone to eat healthy and take vitamins that support metabolism.
What might occur if the cells of the body contained malfunctioning mitochondria?
Body will not get enough energy. So it will malfunction
How many mitochondria might we expect to find in a human skin cell?
At least 10 in each cell.

Why do humans only inherit mitochondrial genes only from their mother.?
Because all our mitochondria are descended from those in our mother's egg cells.
What might have happened if we had no wood?
