Is it true that mitochondria divide to make more mitochondria?
Yes it is true.It can replicate itself
How is mitochondra formed?
Mitochondria divide themselves if more are needed. They are thought to be ancient bacteria. Their DNA has genes that code for this cell division.
What is the name of the organelle that can grow and divide to reproduce itself?
Semiautonomous; Mitochondria and Chloroplasts
Mitochondria in an animal cell?
The mitochondria in an animal cell provides the energy it needs to move, divide, etc. In other words, they are the power centers of a cell.
Energy is produce in organelles called?
Energy is produced in organelles called mitochondria. The mitochondria creates energy in the form of ATP. The mitochondria can move, change shape, and divide of its own accord.
What process is done by the mitochondria of the cell?
Cells divide using Mitochondria.

What is the significants of Red blood haven no nucleus and mitochondria?
They can't divide by mitosis.

Energy is produced in organelles called mitochondria. The mitochondria creates energy in the form of ATP. The mitochondria can move, change shape, and divide of its own accord.
Why do scientists believe that mitochondria were separate organisms?
There are several reasons. First, mitochondria have a capsule around them very similar to bacterial capsules. Second, mitochondria are the only organelles in animal cells with their own genetic material. Third, mitochondria replicate themselves. Fourth, mitochondria are genetically similar to some bacteria.
List five organelles that must divide or fragment before the cytoplasm divides?
Mitochondria, nucleus, Golgi apparatus, ribosome, vacuole.
Why does mitochondria spread evenly through the cell after cell division?
Mitochondria are found spread throughout the cell and also divide independently so when the cell divides they will still be spread evenly through the cell
Why all mitochondria are the same as your mothers mitochondria but not ypour fathers mitochondria?
The DNA given to you by your father contains no other cell organelles. The egg carries the other half of your DNA plus all the organelles. The mitochondria is though to be from a bacteria that "found a home" within the larger cell. Both had an advantage from this arrangement. Since the bacteria had it's own DNA, it kept it. This is the mitochondrial DNA that comes from your mother. Mitochondria divide when they want and replicate their DNA as well.
What is the purpose of the mitochondria in both plant and animal cell?
Mitochondria provide the energy a cell needs to move, divide, produce secretory products, contract - in short, they are the power centers of the cell. They are about the size of bacteria but may have different shapes depending on the cell type.
