Is a mitochondria living or nonliving?

Answer 1

There is no yes or no answer to this question, it is the same with the question on whether or not viruses are alive. It is worth mentioning though, that mitochondria are able to respire unlike viruses. They share a few characteristics with living organisms. Mitochondria poses their own DNA, they reproduce and respire. Mitochondria are similar to bacteria in many ways. A good theory on the origin of mitochondria is that a bacteria survived after being engulfed by a larger cell, and formed a mutual symbiosis. If it helps, my personal opinion is that mitochondria are alive, but heavily dependent on a mutual symbiosis of a host cell.

Answer 2

Yes because its a virus and viruses are living

Answer 3

Mitochondria is a living thing. This is because a mitochondria powers the cells to work and a cell is living.
