Mitochondria is the power house of the cell

This (arguably unhelpful) phrase seems to be taught across schools all over the world. What are some other phrases like this that are common ?

  • I don't remember hearing that specific phrase in school. I remember hearing a teacher tell us to take deep breaths to fire up the mitochondria but not that it was "the powerhouse of the cell." This was a meme that became common after my education was done. Because it became a popular meme it's possible more teachers said it specifically along with whatever other fun phrases they had.
