The
Mitochondria would not be a good fit for the position of Chief Organelle
because even though they produce energy for the body they also cause a lot of
harm and danger to the body. There are many defects and disorders that can
happen if the mitochondrion does not function properly and it may even be so
serious that it may cause death. One of
the widely known defects if the mitochondrion is not functioning properly is
called the mitochondrial disease. Since it is the job of the mitochondria to
produce energy, when it does not produce enough energy for the cell to function
then the cell will start to die off. When the defect does happen it causes the
most damage to the cells of the brain, heart, liver, skeletal muscles, kidney,
endocrine, and respiratory system”. So we see that it affects all the vital
systems of the body, so if the mitochondrion does fail the cell start to die
off fast and the body can’t function properly anymore. According to the source
if the mitochondrion does fail it can cause many other problems like “loss of
motor control, muscle weakness and pain, gastro-intestinal disorders, cardiac
disease, liver disease, diabetes and many other problems. So for the election
it would not be the wise chose to have the mitochondria as the Chief Organelle.
