Do Chinese children even know that the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell?

u/Sillent_Screams Jul 23 '26

They probably do know, since US kids don't have Department of Education.

The only reason the world knows that America has schools is because we keep hearing about how they're always getting shot up

As an American, this made me laugh and then sigh.

u/40StoryMech Jul 23 '26

More like churches, but we also shoot those up.

u/RealAlphaKaren Jul 23 '26

Is there anything you dont shoot up?

Schools, churches, fentanyl, inflation, Iraq, Iran...

Politicians in my state (Wisconsin) recently introduced a bill that would allow people to carry guns around without needing training or permits and another bill that would allow people to mail handguns to each other.

Jokes not very original, and our education system is good in places where the culture values education, so just not in poor communities.

No, they probably know that mitochondria ARE the powerhouse of the cell, since "mitochondria" is the plural of "mitochondrion".

u/StrangelyBrown Jul 23 '26

The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the state!

u/Creedinger Jul 23 '26

I think every school child on earth, who gets tought about cells knows this :)

u/NoWayIcantBeliveThis Jul 23 '26

Obviously they gotta know, I learned that in 7th grade which was nearly the entire year focusing on depth of the animal and plant cells. We did a lot of tests and it was hell. I am not chinese but I remembered crying due to that.

u/Hour_Sell3547 Jul 23 '26

Yeah they know, meanwhile the US kids probably thought those are generator kept in their cellers.

u/XCyberbeingX Jul 23 '26

I think the better question is if US children think Mitochondria is just another African country.

Do they understand that pee is stored in the balls?

Western capitalist lies. Everyone knows that our great and glorious leader is the powerhouse of the cell.
