Semi-autonomous because mitochondrial replication is controlled by the cell.

Mitochondria retain only a portion of their genome. Another, larger, portion of its genome has been moved to the cell nucleus. Thus the reproduction is under the nucleus' control. This coordinates mitochondrial reproduction by responding to cell division and cellular physiological stresses

What are autonomous cell organlles?

these are the mitochondria and chloroplasts and it is because they have their own DNA, mRNA, tRNA, ribosomes and they replicate by binary fission so they are said to be self governing. Semi autonomous means they want to leave but they are in a symbiotic relationship with the cell and have evolved to become part of it.


Why are mitochondria and plastids called semiautonomous membrane?

Mitochondria and plastids are called semiautonomous because they contain their own DNA and ribosomes, allowing them to partially control their own replication and functioning. However, they still rely on the cell for certain essential components and cannot survive independently. The membrane part refers to their double-membrane structure that surrounds the organelles.


What is the name of the organelle that can grow and divide to reproduce itself?

Semiautonomous; Mitochondria and Chloroplasts


Which organelles have less mitochondria?

Mitochondria are organelles and have no organelles of their own. They are inside a cell with other membrane bound organelles.


Where are mitochondria organelles at?

They are in cytoplasm.But only found in eukariyotes.


Where is sugar combined with oxygen to make energy?

In the organelles called mitochondria.


Energy is produce in organelles called?

Energy is produced in organelles called mitochondria. These are known as the powerhouses of the cell because they generate ATP, the energy currency of the cell, through a process called cellular respiration. Mitochondria have a unique double-membrane structure and contain their own DNA.


Most respiration occurs in organelles called?

Most respiration occurs in organelles called mitochondria. Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell because they generate ATP, which is the energy currency of the cell, through a process called cellular respiration.


What is the part of a cell that creates energy?

Organelles called mitochondria generate energy.


What are the energy-producing organelles?

The energy-producing organelles in cells are called mitochondria. They generate ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the energy currency of the cell, through a process called cellular respiration. Mitochondria contain their own DNA and are thought to have originated from symbiotic bacteria.


What does a cell organ do?

Cell parts, or the parts inside a cell are called organelles. Each of these organelles has a special job to carry out. For example, the mitochondria provide energy for the cell. The mitochondria are often called the "power house" or "power plant" of a cell.


What are organelles that break down sugar to produce energy?

The breakdown of sugar (mainly glucose) is called glycolysis and occurs in the cytoplasm of a cell. The product of glycolysis is pyruvate, which is used to make ATP energy by the Krebs Cycle in the mitochondria.
