This Wikipedia page will touch on the description, purpose and diseases of the Mitochondria and the Ribosomes provide alone and/or together. Below will show you what to do when you contract diseases that relate to these organelles while presenting the benefits about them as well.

What is a mitochondria?

-The mitochondria can often be referred to as the "powerhouse" of the cell, and they wouldn't be wrong to address it as that. This organelle is responsible for providing the energy that we require on a day-to-day basis from talking to others to basically anything that require physical exertion.

How does it give us energy?

-Our body (like a vehicle) requires fuel to keep working and the way we get that fuel is through food. The mitochondria works the same, it takes the glucose from the food that we intake and breaks it down to release the energy it stored starting from the beginning when it was a plant using sunlight for photosynthesis.

-The energy converted by the mitochondria is called an ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) which is essentially the compound that stores energy that we use up every single day.

How does it interact with other organelles?

-This organelle isn't directly related to another organelle, it provides a role critical to systems inn the body that requires energy. For example, since the legs require energy to function there will be more mitochondrion at the site.

-One organelle it is found working with though is the Ribosomes. The ribosome is another organelle that works with the mitochondria in a grand chain of energy consumption, digestion, conversion then synthesis. This article will look further on the ribosome later on.

What are some diseases related to the mitochondria?

-The most common disorder related to the mitochondria is "mitochondrial myopathy". "myo" defined as "muscle" and "pathy-pathos" mean disease, we can safely assume that this disease can induce damage and weakness on muscles.

-Contraction of this disease can lead to other well known diseases such as Alzheimers, Lou Gehrigs disease, Cancers pertaining to the part of the body which suffers from disease, diabetes or can skip to death.

-There are at least 4000 cases of mitochondrial disease affecting children in the US ever since they were born.

-Mitochondrial disease can also be inherited from the parents during the pregnancy process.

What are some signs and symptoms pertaining to mitochondrial disease?

-some signs and symptoms of mitochondrial disease include: Muscle weakness

Muscle pain

Impaired Vision

Impaired hearing

Constant Fatigue and loss of function

Disorder of critical organs (heart, liver,kidney)

Migraines and headaches

etc...

-Mitochondrial disease can affect any individual at any age but most seen in children below 20.

'''What are possible treatment options for mitochondrial disease? '''

-Treatment for Mitochondrial disease include:

Vitamins and supplemental medicine

Exercise (Strength, resistance, endurance, flexibility, etc)

Rest

Certain therapies

- Mitochondrial disease can affect other people differently and treatment for patients with this condition will not be subject to identical help as another person suffering from the same disease.

- Severity, age, health conditions and other factors can influence what treatment plan will be used.

What is a Ribosome?

-Ribosomes are tiny organelles found within all living cells. They are made up of ribosomal RNA (ribonucleic acid), and various different proteins.

Ribosomes are responsible for synthesizing proteins for the cell. They link amino acids with the instructions provided by RNA.

What is protein synthesis?

-Protein synthesis is the process of protein creation within cells. The process begins in the nucleus, where genetic instructions are transferred from DNA to mRNA (Messenger RNA). Once the mRNA leaves the nucleus, it is moved to a ribosome. The ribosome then links amino acids in the order specified by the mRNA.

How does this organelle connect to the mitochondria?

-Energy is required by ribosomes to synthesize proteins. Mitochondria produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a source of energy for organelles.

Why does our body require protein?

-Proteins are essential for building and repairing tissues. They can be used to make important chemicals and components, such as skin, blood, bones, muscle, and cartilage.

What are diseases related to the ribosomes?

"Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome" is a condition that causes skeletal abnormalities, and pancreatic and neurocognitive dysfunction.

What are some signs and symptoms regarding the diseases?

Symptoms include:


 * Growth restrictions, metaphyseal dysostosis and thoracic dysostrophy
 * Anemia, Thrombocytopenia and hypocellular bone marrow
 * How to treat the disease -There is no cure for the condition, but exocrine pancreatic dysfunction can be treated with pancreatic enzyme supplements; skeletal issues related to this condition can be treated with surgery.  The gene responsible for SDS has been identified, meaning potential carriers of the syndrome may be predicted or prevented for the future generation
