Not really. Mitochondria use their DNA to produce many proteins and enzymes required for their function but not all. That makes the idea that they make their own food a little fuzzy. They can't live outside the cell that they are in, since they need some things from the 'host' cell.

What part of the cell does a plant use to make its own food?
The part of the plant that makes food is called the chloroplast. Carbon dioxide, water, and energy from sunlight mix to make food for the plant through a process called photosynthesis
Which of these cellular organelles have their own DNA?
Two of the cellular organelles that have their own DNA are chloroplast and a nucleus. The mitochondrion also have there own DNA.
Cells power plants break down food molecules to make ATP?
mitochondria
What are things that make their own food?
Organisms that make their own food are called producers.
How are the mitochondria and chloroplasts different?
the mitochondria is the cells powerhouse that helps break down food the chloroplast is only for plant cells and they help with the process of photosynthesis(they make food for plants)
Can mitochondria make their own food?
No,they cannot make food.They break down food.
What organelles make their own DNA?
mitochondria
What is the kitchen of cell?
Mitochondria. They make "food" (ATP) from the cell using "ingredients" (sugars).
What converts food to energy that the cell can use?
Mitochondria are organelles that convert the chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell's use.
What part of the cell does a plant use to make its own food?
The part of the plant that makes food is called the chloroplast. Carbon dioxide, water, and energy from sunlight mix to make food for the plant through a process called photosynthesis
How do producer make food?
process by which mitochondria makes energy
Which of these cellular organelles have their own DNA?
Two of the cellular organelles that have their own DNA are chloroplast and a nucleus. The mitochondrion also have there own DNA.
Does electron transport occur during mitochondria?
Mitochondria are the powerhouses of thE cell, they arE a organelle they make energy from your food. Hope this helps!!
What in the cell breaks down the food molecules to make ATP?
mitochondria
What is the power plant of the cell that breaks down food molecules to make ATP?
That would be the Mitochondria... AKA "MIGHTY" chondria!!mitochondria
How many mitochondria does a plant root hair cell have?
plant cells can make there own food because they have chloroplasts, but also have mitochondria, while animal cells only have mitochondria which doesn't make it's own food, because of the chloroplasts plants cells don't need as much mitochondria. Mitochondria produces energy. Animal cells have more mitochondria because they need more energy. Plants don't move, so they don't need a lot of energy.
Does photosynthesis take place in a plant or animal?
Producers because they are the ones who make food (Plants). Consumers are the ones who eat it (Us=) ).
