He could count on receiving them, he knew exactly what they were, and he could schedule his other work around them.
We have mitochondria in all our cells, they convert carbohydrate molecules into packets of energy (ATP) that can then be used directly by our cells to function.ATP powers muscle cell contraction, protein building, cell replication.. To go down a rabbit hole briefly, these fascinating organelles are the vestiges of ancient bacteria which somehow became intertwined with the larger eucaryote cells of animals and plants.
They have their own DNA which is only passed on through the female line.The way they produce ATP is by becoming self-charging batteries of 180mV which drives all the processes in a cell.. To get back to scale; do we have one of these in each cell?The answer is no, we have a few 100,000 per cell.
Over millions of years of evolution although much has changed, they have not changed in size, because the size and structure represent a sweet spot for their function.You could say that we have learned similarly in the building of batteries; replicating and combining small cells works much better than trying to create large cells.
The body itself carries on the advantages of scaling.
An organ contains some hundred billion cells and the body is made up of about 100 organs and limbs..You need to know it for everything,” Marks says..
Looking toward the future: sustainability in construction.Still, the reality is that the construction industry has been in a state of poor productivity and other difficulties for decades, so why is it that we finally appear to be standing on the cusp of an industrialised construction transformation?.
We’re ready now, Marks says, and we don’t really have a choice.. “Technology has changed, the environment has changed, the workforce has changed, the designs are more complex.There’s a lot of things closing in on the space that's creating a lot of dissatisfaction, and the people who have the money are the most dissatisfied - the big end-users, the big governments…”.
