Genetics or the daughters get if from their dad genes... What was the question?
Mitochondria(Mt) are the cell's "power stations" because the energy currency for the metabolic processes in the cell is synthesised inside this organelle via aerobic respiration. This process is known as oxidative phosphorylation. Mt is a double membraned, semi-autonomous organelle.
The mitochondrion's structure is specially tailored to the function it performs:
- The outer membrane contains carrier proteins that allow pyruvate produced during glycolysis to be transported from the cytoplasm.
- The electron transport chain(a series of protein complexes) and ATP synthase are located in the inner membrane to transfer electrons and ATP production respectively.
- The inner membrane is folded into numerous pockets called cristae, which raises the surface area: volume ratio.
- When proton accumulation occurs, the small intermembrane space between two membranes increases the hydrogen gradient.
- Matrix is the core chamber containing the necessary enzymes and pH for the Krebs cycle(oxidation of acetyl-CoA derived from pyruvate) to take place.

Yes, over a period of time, and a few generations later, the birds would eventually adapt to the new situation. During Natural Selection, only the fittest that are best able to handle the change in environment will survive and pass on those traits that make them immune or resistant to the change, to their offspring.
Answer: A plant cell has a cell wall, a central vacuole, and phosphids or chloroplasts. The cell wall provides structural support and protection.
