Chloroplasts cannot live on their own. They must have the cell they live in to survive. The theory is that endosymbiosis occurred millions of years ago, and the chloroplasts lost much of their self functioning genes to the host cell, depending instead on the cell to maintain life. They have become so specialized at their job within the cell, they are no longer able to support their own lives outside of it.

Did dinosaurs have mitochondrian?
Considering that most eukaryotic cells have mitochondria and that dinosaurs are eukaryotes like all other animals that ever lived, it is certain that they did have mitochondria in their cells. In fact, birds are considered dinosaurs (they certainly descended from dinosaurs) and their cells have mitochondria, so we can be as sure as scientifically possible that dinosaurs indeed did have mitochondria.
What organism is the mitochondria in?
first mitochondria is an organism second a mitochondria can be in an animal cell
Is the mitochondria studded with ribosomes?
Mitochondria contains ribosomes in them.Those are produced by mitochondria.
Which of these cellular organelles have their own DNA?
Two of the cellular organelles that have their own DNA are chloroplast and a nucleus. The mitochondrion also have there own DNA.
Power house of the cell?
The mitochondria - this is where ATP is created during respiration, and ATP 'powers' the cell.
Why culturing of mitochondria not possible?
They are not individual organisms.
How do plant and animal cells get energy?
Mitochondria is the only possible way in clinical studies.

How does the mitochondria fit in a cell?
Mitochondria are organelles. They are much smaller than the cell they are in. Several mitochondria can easily fit in a cell without affecting the other organelles. In fact, they make life possible. Not because they produce ATP, but because they reside in the cells and communicate with the force.
Is there a photo of the Philippine culture?
No, it is not possible to photograph a culture, only objects that are expressive of some aspect of a culture. Culture is not a tangible object. It is a complex concept.
Is it possible to go against the flow of culture?
Yes, it is.
What is the organelle where respiration occurs?
Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria.
What will happen to a culture if you leave it indefinitely?
If one person leaves a culture indefinitely, there will probably not be much if an effect on the culture. However, if there is a mass exodus off a particular culture then it is possible for the culture to become extinct.
Which cellular organelle uses oxygen and glucose to provide energy?
The mitochondria.
Where is mitochondria in the cell found?
Well mitochondria and other organells are not fixed objects, but if you are wondering about the amount it depends on if it is a eukariote cell or procariot or how much energy is needed for the cell at the moment, this is possible because the mitochondria like the nucleus has its own DNA
How have airplanes changed America's culture?
it made it possible for transportation
What is a synonym of mitochondria?
mitochondria
