it always bugs me that this phrase isn't even grammatically correct. mitochondria is plural. it should be "the mitochondrion is the powerhouse of the cell"
Pedantry gone too far!
Mitochondria would be grammatically correct because there are multiple mitochondrion in the cell. Referring to only one of them would be inaccurate.
Then it's the mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell
Unless “the mitochondria” is a singular group noun, like in “The Village People is a band”, or “This [set of] data was collected…”
But then again British English would still use the plural form so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I, too, love pulling this trick out. :p
mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell
It's kinda like like the plural form has also become a colloquial singular form
Same with "a bacteria"
That makes it sound like each cell has one mitochondrion and each mitochondrion equates to one powerhouse while in fact, all mitochondria of a cell collectively are the powerhouse of the cell
not necessarily. for example we say things like "the lion is the king of the jungle," but that doesn't mean there's only one lion per jungle. sometimes we refer to an archetypal singular to convey something about every member of a group
And sometimes we use the etymological plural of a loan word for the singular or mass noun. Like spaghetti (Italian plural of spaghetto), visa (visum), salami (salame), broccoli (broccolo), mitochondria, ...
Well.....a single mitocondrion is not really a powerhouse of anything except really simple single celled organisms.

It would be more correct to say "are the powerhouse of the cell".
