This video - The History, Structure and Functions of Mitochondria is the first of three on the mitochondria. The other two videos are:
- The History, Structure and Functions of Mitochondria
- Understanding the Function of Mitochondria | Dr. Peter Mitchell's Nobel Prize-Winning Work
- Understanding Mitochondrial DNA: Structure, Function, and Disease
In the video, I examine the history and functions of mitochondria. I start with Rudolf Albert von Kölliker's initial description in 1852 and subsequent naming by Carl Benda in 1898. I explain how these organelles are more than just static power plants of the cell. I highlight the dynamic nature of mitochondria, their ability to form networks, and their crucial roles in energy production and cellular metabolism.
