biology
In bio class we see the cells (of plants and animals)
and in cells there are stuff called in Dutch:
mitochondriën.
Wich is awfully close to midi-chlorians in my case (language)
They are usefull because they are responsable for 'celbreathing' and giving energy to the cell.....
sounds perfect almost...

And of course you know that Vader means father in Dutch?
I knew from the start that Vader was someones father, I was doubting about Han or Luke...
But, how is the English term for mitochondriën?

yeah., I knew the Vader thing
My biology is EXCEEDINGLY rust; Edan will know better. Chloroplasts?

If the thing you're talking about is the energy maker of the cell, then the translation is mitochondrion. I think the guy that discovered cells was Dutch, so a lot of translations are similar.

Does that mean that we have the force-potential in us? Now all we need is a Jedi Master to teach us how to use it...

well, they are in every cell, like midi-chlorians....
But we don't know (or I don't know) if they have powers...

As has been said before at this forum, the thing that makes Star Wars fans cooler than Star Trek fans is that Star Wars fans know it's not real.
But then again telekinesis is real.
The exact definition of a mitochondrion is: eukaryotic membrane-bound organelle in which food molecules are broken down to produce ATPs (energy molecules);contains highly folded inner membrane that produces enrgy-storing molecules.

And another reason Star Wars fans are cooler, is because I'M one of them! You're all cooler for being like me. Now let's go to the bar, yerssot's buyin'!

I'm surprised Yersott was even allowed to step foot in his Bio class, with his striking teachers and all

Maybe there was no teacher. Yerssot was taking the class.

It's interestin that you noticed the similarity between midi-chlorians and mitochindrions. The idea for midi-chlorians probably came from there. Midi-chlorians give you control over the force which is like an enrgy source and the motochondrions create enrgy. That sneaky George Lucas

well, that makes me figure: what is also in a cell that can be used to support the Force?

Okay, the other thing about mitochindrions that makes it "special" is that it has it's own DNA and that DNA is passed only through maternal lines. I also want to say that it's that that at one time the mitochindrions was an independent cell but through evolution it developed a symboitic relationship with other cells ...but I have to check my facts on that one.
Now, the thing with the DNA only being passed though maternal lines is interesting because it makes me wonder if GL would take it that far or if he decided to make some kind of weird twist like because Anakin only has a mother could he then pass on his midis to his kids where as normal men couldn't?..I don't know..it's a thought though.

That doesn't scan, Dim. You are not born with midi-chlorians that cause your Forcr potential. You are born with Force-potential that attracts the Midi-chlorians.

are you sure? I thought it was the other way around 
well, about the own DNA: so the phrase; the Force is strong in my family is correct and again it connects to mitochondriën...
