Unfortunately not mitochondria is typically called the “powerhouse of the cell” though it also has uses in apoptotic and protein regulation pathways. Ribosomes are where proteins are made.

I looked this up to check as I was curious, I was wrong. So that adds another day. I'm pretty sure that's 4 wrong. My last day denied atm is the 7th.

When Great Britain (and the empire? I’m not sure if this applied universally) adopted the Gregorian calendar in 1752, they skipped a few days in September that year.

How many days did the British year 1752 have?

Well you are getting more than zero days denial from this

Even this article itself says that yes mathematicians agree zero is even. The definition of the term even in math is based on the parity, "if a number divided by 2 produces an integer then the number is even." Obviously we can apply this to most number 2/2=1, 4/2=1, 1/2=0.5, 3/2 = 1.5 if it produces a decimal it is not even. So now we try this for 0 and we get 0/2=0. This leaves us with one simple question is 0 an integer. An integer by definition is a "counting number" or a number that is not required to be represented with a fraction/decimal. 0 can be represented with fractions such as 0/2 or 0/3 but these hold the same meaning as just 0. This is as opposed to something like 0.5 which can be represented as 1/2, 2/4, etc. but cannot be presented by a whole number. Therefore 0 is even.
