The ultimate cellular Stockholm syndrome! Mitochondria were once free-living bacteria that got "captured" by eukaryotic cells billions of years ago. Now they're essential powerhouses generating ATP energy for us, and eukaryotes are completely dependent on these former invaders. Talk about a hostile takeover that turned into the most successful symbiotic relationship in history! Mitochondria asking "do you trust me?" is hilarious because we literally couldn't survive without these ancient bacterial hitchhikers that now power every cell in our bodies. Biology's greatest "enemies to lovers" story.
