Man I'm a doctor and "well a cell just happened to eat this and not get rid of it 2 million years ago" always did and always will feel like absolute bullshit.

 

[Runchicken]

@starburst98 Yeah, I saw that. Thanks!

@Scam
A bacteria just needs to develop acid resistance without "getting eaten" resistance. This results in the bacteria being swallowed by a larger cell and but the larger cell unable to kill it.

Are we gonna have an Organelles at Work manga? With a black spinoff where it takes place in a cell that is facing difficult environments?

@Scam What it feels like is one thing. But the little fuckers have their own DNA, they got a genome, and it's a simplified bacteria genome. I think you can actually kind of trace what they're related to. So fucked up or no, it seems to be the case. It's not the only thing like that, either--in plants, chloroplasts I believe are the same kind of deal.

It's also real simple why everything has cells with mitochondria, they out-competed. A cell with mitochondria was faster and stronger than cells without them, so they ate more food and reproduced better than the rest.

It would be fun to explain to someone why this exists.

 

[Princy]

Great work. Sci fi manga is a good start. I d love to read more of them. Of course with some more scientific details though.

 

[immortalartisan]

@Capt_Telnet hey at least it’s not more generic fantasy romance or reincarnation so be greatful for that at least and why the same reason modern art exists some one had to do it at some point

 

[Scintilla29]

Omo.....imma biology student but I never ever imagined in my wildest dreams that there could be a comic on mitochondria..... And after reading this I dunno what to say

And random stuff can be useful educational aids. See also: The entire "Manga Guide to..." franchise. (Though, frankly, I find the educational bits to be shoehorned in... particularly the Databases and Microprocessors ones.) And a huge chunk of what I can recall about fermentation is from Moyashimon.

“I remember the circulatory system by singing Nickelback-- This is how, I remind me of blood cells and their jobs: Lymphocytes, and T-Cells, crushing cancer on every level."

Calling it now, this is gonna be the Dog Nigga killer.

Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell UwU

The art looks pretty cool, so I'll give this one a shot
