Mitochondria because it's a separate bateria that somehow merged with the cell's in a mutualistic form. All lifeform have it's own DNA in order to reproduce.

Mitochondria and chloroplasts are enclosed by membranes, thery are not part of the endomembrane system. Their membrane proteins are made not by the ER, but by free ribosomes in the cytosol and by ribosomes contained within the mitochondria and chloroplasts themselves. Not only do these organelles have ribosomes, but they also contain a small amount of DNA. It is this DNA that programs the synthesis of the proteins made on the organelle's own ribosomes.

Contains its own DNA and ribosomes?

Mitochondria contain their own DNA and ribosomes, allowing them to carry out the process of protein synthesis independently of the cell's nucleus. This is thought to be a result of their evolutionary origins as symbiotic bacteria within eukaryotic cells.


What organelle has its own DNA and provides energy to both plant and animal cells?

The organelle is the mitochondria. It is responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP through the process of cellular respiration. The mitochondrial DNA is separate from the cell's nuclear DNA and contains genes necessary for its function.


What type of organelle is it when it has a double membrane and the inner membrane is folded and it contains its own DNA?

That organelle is the mitochondrion. Mitochondria are responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration. The presence of their own DNA and double membrane suggests that mitochondria likely evolved from bacteria through endosymbiosis.


Mitochondria contain their own so they can produce their own proteins?

Mitochondria contain their own DNA and ribosomes so they can produce some of their own proteins, particularly those essential for their function in generating energy through cellular respiration. This allows mitochondria to regulate their own processes independently of the cell's nuclear DNA.


In what types of cells do you find large numbers of ribosomes?

You find large numbers of ribosomes in cells that are actively synthesizing proteins, such as in cells that produce a lot of enzymes or structural proteins. These include cells in the pancreas, liver, and muscle cells.

Which organelle have their own genetic material?

Mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA and RNA.Genes along the DNA are transcribed, so messenger RNA (mRNA) is formed, and there is (ribosomal RNA) rRNA in ribosomes. These organelles have their own transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules, too.

Which organelle with ribosomes carries out protein synthesis?

The organelle with ribosomes that carries out protein synthesis is the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The ribosomes attached to the rough ER synthesize proteins that are then transported within the organelle for further processing and packaging.

Eukaryotic mitochondria have their own 70S ribosomes and circular DNA?

Yes, this is correct. Eukaryotic mitochondria have their own set of ribosomes called mitoribosomes, which are 70S in size. Mitochondria also have circular DNA that contains genes necessary for mitochondrial function and replication.

What organelle used in photosynthesis?

No organelle makes photosynthesis.However, the process of photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of a plant cell.The question should be "Which organelle is used to make chlorophyll". The plants are responsible for making their own energy unlike animals which get their energy from plants.
