You really think you want to vote for the Mitochondria as the Organelle in Cheif? Well I've done my research, and I now know that Mitichondria is no where near the running in my mind. The Mitochondria has caused many problems due to it's inability to maintain focus and not mess up. Allow me to let you in on some commonly known knowledge before you decide to give them your precious vote...
Due to single mitochondrial DNA deletions, a person can be infected with Pearson Syndrome, which includes bone marrow and pancreas disfunction. Pearson marrow-pancreas syndrome is a severe disorder that commonly begins in infancy. It creates problems with the development of blood-forming cells in the bone marrow that have the potential to develop into different types of blood cells. For this reason, Pearson marrow-pancreas syndrome is considered a bone marrow failure disorder. Functions of the pancreas and other organs can also be affected.
This syndrom also effects the pancreas in a negative way, and causes it to not function as well as it should. The pancreas normally produces and releases enzymes that aid in the digestion of fats and proteins. Reduced function of this organ can lead to high levels of fats in the liver. The pancreas also releases insulin, which helps maintain correct blood sugar levels. A small number of individuals with Pearson syndrome develop diabetes, a condition that includes abnormally high blood sugar levels that can be caused by a shortage of insulin. In addition, affected individuals may have scarring in the pancreas.
People with Pearson syndrome also have a reduced ability to absorb nutrients from their diet. Most infants affected by this have an inability to grow and gain weight at the expected rate (failure to thrive). Another common occurrence in people with this condition is buildup in the body of a chemical called lactic acid, which can be life-threatening. In addition, liver and kidney problems can develop in people with this condition.
As you can now see, when the Mitichondria messes up, IT IS NOT GOOD, and that was only one example of what can happen when it fails to function properly.
Not as cool as it looks, am I right??
Consider yourselves warned...
