Vaknin, Sam, 1961-

"The First Book of Factoids"

They maintain a symbiotic relationship with cells. They are
symbionts.

All the cells in the human body contain mitochondria. Mitochondria are
more abundant in cells with heavy energy requirements, like muscle
cells.

A third type of such symbiont was recently discovered in the malaria
parasite, the Plasmodium falciparum. It is called an apicoplast and
is, perhaps, the remains of an alga. It, too, has its own unique
genome.

and won them all.

The Turning Point (1977) and The Color Purple (1985) were nominated
for 11 awards each, but didn't win even a single one.
