Non-anglophones, is this a thing you can relate to? I’ve never been told “das Mitochondrium ist das Kraftwerk der Zelle” or anything like it, at least not nearly to the extent that anglophones seem to, so much so that it’s forever burnt into their brain folds apparently.
As a Canadian, I share your confusion. I think that phrase was just a common descriptor of mitochondria in US textbooks, or a catchy line in a popular US biology video.
It’s just strange enough to make a big impression on bored students, so I’m not surprised it’s been memed so hard.
