as they contain their own DNA and hence are able to synthesize proteins,but the DNA contains small number of genes so it is able to produce some of the proteins.

Can the mitochondria manufacture some of their own proteins?

yes they can. They have their own ribosomes which synthesize proteins

What form parts of cell membranes and many of the cell's organelles?

The answer is proteins.


Do mitochondria make their own food?

Not really. Mitochondria use their DNA to produce many proteins and enzymes required for their function but not all. That makes the idea that they make their own food a little fuzzy. They can't live outside the cell that they are in, since they need some things from the 'host' cell.


Which cell organelles provide strong evidence for endosymbiotic origination?

The mitochondria. This organelle has it own circular DNA and make some of its own proteins. Strongly suggesting bacterial origins.


What are some of the jobs that cells have in an organism?

Cells contain vital organelles such as mitochondria, golgi, ribosomes etc The Mitochondria are the site of ATP production during aerobic respiration, meaning this creates energy for the cell The Ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis, meaning they make proteins; (Proteins in their primary structure) The Golgi modifies proteins, usually by adding sugars or folding them into their secondary tertiary or quaternary structures

What are some examples of membrane proteins?

ATPase, Na/K channels, hormone receptors, ABC transporters are a few examples. In addition proteins that participate in electron transport chain (in mitochondria) are also membrane proteins that make ATP at the end by ATPase. Nup358 is a membrane protein in nucleus.


What type of genes are found in mitochondria?

It is highly suggested by observation that the few genes left to mitochondria to synthesize some proteins are prokaryote in nature as they are circular in the structure of the single chromosome.
