Not anymore. Many of the mitochondrial genes have been in-cooperated into the cells genetic material. So the mitochondria would not be able to synthesize all the proteins it needed to be viable on it's own.

∙ 13y agoWhat synthesizes proteins are the ribosomes!

∙ 7y agono ( release energy from glucose molecules.)
Yes,it can produce proteins.But its primary function is to produce energy

∙ 12y agoNo - the mitochondria are the sites of cellular respiration. This is where glucose is used to produce ATP. Proteins are packaged by the Golgi apparatus.

Do mitochondria manufacture its own proteins?
YES
What do proteins in the mitochondria do?
They have several function. They may be structural,protective etc.
What are metabolic enzymes?
Metabolic enzymes are acidic proteins that exist in the mitochondria in every cell. Their function is to process ingested proteins and sugars into energy which your body will use to function or replicate cells.
Dna makes what protein in a cell?
DNA does not manufacture specific proteins. It codes for many different proteins that depend upon the cell's function. Liver cells' DNA manufactures different proteins that match the function of the liver. Kidney cells' DNA manufactures different proteins that match the function of the kidneys.
What does the mitocondion do?
Mitochondria are organelles in the cytoplasm of cells that function in energy production.
Do mitochondria manufacture its own proteins?
YES
Can the mitochondria manufacture some of their own proteins?
yes they can. They have their own ribosomes which synthesize proteins
To manufacture proteins all cells also contain?
Mitochondria
What are the eukaryotic cell function?
-Nucleus directs the cells activities -Cell respiration takes place in mitochondria -Ribosomes manufacture proteins and take place in replication, transcription, and translation.
What do proteins in the mitochondria do?

What is mitochondria functions?
Its main function is to produce ATP.It also poduce proteins.
What are metabolic enzymes?
Metabolic enzymes are acidic proteins that exist in the mitochondria in every cell. Their function is to process ingested proteins and sugars into energy which your body will use to function or replicate cells.
What function of the nucleolus in the plant cell?
The nucleolus produces ribosomes, the organelles that manufacture proteins in the cell.

Which is not a characteristic of ribosomes?
mitochondria can be described as the "power house" for the cell.. its where the cells energy is produced. I hope that helps you! :)
What is the mitochondria made?
proteins
