Why do you think it’s so important for the mitochondria to work properly ?

They help turn the energy we take from food into energy that the cell can use. But, there is more to mitochondria than energy production. Present in nearly all types of human cell, mitochondria are vital to our survival. They generate the majority of our adenosine triphosphate, the energy currency of the cell.

i think the miocene epoch spans the time from 23 million to 12 million years ago.
