Here we re\u2010evaluate published MTY fluorescence responses used to argue in favor of the \u2018hot mitochondria\u2019 concept; the assertion that mitochondria operate while maintaining substantial (&gt;\u200910\u00b0C) apparent temperature gradients (\u0394\n                      <jats:italic>T<\/jats:italic>\n                      <jats:sub>\n                        <jats:italic>app<\/jats:italic>\n                      <\/jats:sub>\n                      ) between themselves and their cellular environment.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      We find that MTY fluorescence kinetics are incompatible with the expected dynamics of mitochondrial heat production and diffusion.

In addition to these analyses, we further argue that the inference mitochondria can operate at an internal temperature of &gt;\u200948\u00b0C, as reported using MTY, is improbable as these internal
