The mitochondria are often referred to as "the powerhouse of the cell," which is true, but an incomplete picture of the various whole organism biology that the mitochondrion has contributed to. For this question, choose another aspect of biology in which the mitochondria is known to have contributed to, other than just energy generation, and in a few well-structured sentences describe the biological importance of this teeny, amazing organelle to the biological aspect you have chosen.
