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.

Do mitochondria produce proteins?

Mitochondria do not produce proteins themselves, but they have their own genome and machinery to synthesize a few essential proteins. The majority of the proteins needed for mitochondrial function are produced in the cell's cytoplasm and then imported into the 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.


Does the mitochondria package proteins?

No. The mitochondria release the energy from glucose to produce ATP. Proteins are packaged in the Golgi apparatus.

Regulating the manufacture of is the function of RNA?

Regulating the manufacture of proteins is the function of RNA. RNA carries instructions from DNA to the ribosomes, where proteins are made. This process is essential for cell function and overall organism development.


Do mitochondria contain proteins?

Yes, mitochondria contain proteins.


How does mitochondria synthesize proteins within the cell?

Mitochondria synthesize proteins within the cell by using their own set of ribosomes and transfer RNA molecules to translate the genetic information from mitochondrial DNA into proteins. This process occurs in the matrix of the mitochondria and is essential for the organelle's function in producing energy for the cell.
