The short answer: No.
Mitochondria are the power-house of the cell. It is where the Electron Transport Chain takes place as well as the production site almost all of the ATP a cell produces. Proteins are produced by ribosomes of the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
Okay... the answer above is only partially true. Mitochondria do, in fact, synthesize some of their own proteins, due to the fact that they contain their own DNA. However, the first respondent is correct that most of the proteins used in a cell are synthesized in the rough ER. Hope this helps.

Mitochondria have their own DNA and ribosomes.So they can synthesize proteins

∙ 10y agoMitochondrias do have ribosomes.So they can produce proteins.But it is not the main protein synthesizing organell.

When does a mitochondria produce protein?
mitochondria doesnt make protein it makes energy
Do mitochondria produce proteins?
Mitochondria have DNA and ribosomes.So they can synthesize protein.
Does mitochondria join amino acids to produce proteins?
No,mitochondria involve in respiration. Protein synthesis take place in ribosomes.
Briefly state the functions what cytoplasm?
Ribosome plays a vital role in protein synthesis as they consist of protein and RNA. The most important function of the mitochondria is to produce energy.
Is mitochondria responsible for protein assembly?
Basic role of mitochondria is respiration not protein synthesis . Ribosomes synthesize proteins .

Do mitochondria produce proteins?
Mitochondria have DNA and ribosomes.So they can synthesize protein.
Can mitochondria manufacture protein?
Yes they can produce. They have DNA and ribosomes
DO mitochondria secrete protein?
It produce some protein.But it is a minor purpose.
What chloroplast do in a cell?
Hold in all the mitochondria and helps produce protein particles
What chloroplast in cells do?
Hold in all the mitochondria and helps produce protein particles
Does mitochondria join amino acids to produce proteins?
No,mitochondria involve in respiration. Protein synthesis take place in ribosomes.

Where protein is synthesize?
by the mitochondria
Is mitochondria responsible for protein assembly?
Basic role of mitochondria is respiration not protein synthesis . Ribosomes synthesize proteins .
Is mitochondria a protein factory?
No they are not protein factories.They are power houses.
What do mitochondria mostly produce in a cell?
If you want it to the simplest, Mitochondria produce carbon dioxide and sugar.
