the fact that mitochondria are called the powerhouse of the cell is common, stable, widely agreed knowledge not dependent on on-chain data, general biology knowledge: cell biology textbooks and standard science references (e.g. encyclopaedia britannica, ncbi) consistently describe the mitochondrion as the 'powerhouse of the cell', general biology knowledge: mitochondria are universally described as the powerhouse of the cell due to atp production via oxidative phosphorylation (standard cell-biology textbook fact, e.g. campbell biology), general cell biology reference (e.g. standard biology textbooks / encyclopedia britannica, 'mitochondrion'): mitochondria are described as the powerhouse of the cell because they generate most of the cell's atp via oxidative phosphorylation., khan academy, learn: mitochondria and chloroplasts — https://www.khanacademy.org/science/biology/structure-of-a-cell/tour-of-organelles/a/chloroplasts-and-mitochondria, khan academy, learn: mitochondria and chloroplasts: https://www.khanacademy.org/science/biology/structure-of-a-cell/tour-of-organelles/a/chloroplasts-and-mitochondria, khan academy, mitochondria (video): https://www.khanacademy.org/science/biology/structure-of-a-cell/structure-of-a-cell/tour-of-organelles/v/mitochondria, learninglab.rmit.edu.au, mitochondrion, wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/mitochondrion) and standard cell biology texts (e.g. alberts et al., molecular biology of the cell). search returned no primary page;
