Mitochondria are important so far as synthesis of protein is concerned due to one or all of the following reasons:-
1. It contains ribosome which is the site for protein synthesis. However, these ribosomes differ in size and shape from cytoplasmic ribosomes.
2. They are the source of ATP.
3. They contain enzymes of electron-transport chain.
4. They contain DNA which is almost similar in character to that of prokaryotic DNA.
5. The activation of amino acids occurs in the mitochondria by ATP molecules and amino-acyl AMP is formed by the enzyme amino-acyl tRNA synthetase.
6. Trancription takes place in mitochondria leading to the synthesis to mRNA, tRNA and rRNA.
7. Most of the proteins of electron transport chain are produced in mitochondria (cytochrome b, etc.).

Do mitochondria produce proteins?
Mitochondria have DNA and ribosomes.So they can synthesize protein.
Does the mitochondria package proteins?
No. The mitochondria release the energy from glucose to produce ATP. Proteins are packaged in the Golgi apparatus.
What do mitochondria produce?
They produce ATP mainly.Also produce CO2 and proteins etc.
What does an mitochondria do?
All mitochondria produce energy for the cell. The cell can be considered to be a factory. This factory makes proteins in most cases. The mitochondria produce the energy for the factory to work.
Do ribosomes store the information necessary to produce proteins?
yesIt does not involve in energy storage.Its primary function is to produce proteins

What are the mitochondria produce?
They mainly produce ATP.They also produce proteins.
What are the factories in cells that produce proteins?
Mitochondria.

Do ribosomes produce ATP?
No it is made in the mitochondria and chloroplasts
Do ribosomes store the information necessary to produce proteins?
yesIt does not involve in energy storage.Its primary function is to produce proteins
Does mitochondria function to manufacture proteins?
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.
Ribsomes are the sites of atp productions?
No, they produce proteins. ATPs are produced in mitochondria.
What is mitochondria functions?
Its main function is to produce ATP.It also poduce proteins.
Does mitochondria join amino acids to produce proteins?
No,mitochondria involve in respiration. Protein synthesis take place in ribosomes.
