because in the past it was an independent bacteria, which swallowed later by eukaryotic cell - according the the Endosymbiotic Theory.

Mitochondria existed on its own outside the cell?
Mitochondria have their own DNA separate and distinct from the cells DNA. It is believed that mitochondria were once separate from cells and have since developed a symbiotic relationship with them.
Contains its own DNA and ribosomes?
Mitochondria
Mitochondria contain their own so they can produce their own proteins?
Dna.They have circular DNA.Also have 70s ribosomes
What organelle contains its own DNA and ribosomes?
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.
Is Archaea able to make its own food?
No
How can mitochondria make their own protein?
now some in punjabi tuhadi maa di fudi.it has chloroplast
Which organelle with ribosomes carries out protein synthesis?
the mitochondria has its own ribosomes and synthesises its own proteins.
What organelles make their own DNA?
mitochondria
When compared to other cells cells with more mitochondria will be able to?
Mitochondria can replicate themselves. They also have own ribosomes.
Is it true mitochondria are able to replicate themselves?
Yes they have own DNA. So they replicate by their own
Why mitochondria are able to make some of their proteins?
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.
What is the part of a chromosome instruction for a protein?
chromosomes contain there own RNA(ribo nucleic acid).therefore they are able to make there own proteins.
Why are mitochondria able to reproduce themselves?
They have own circular DNA and ribosomes.So they can reproduce.
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.
Can mitochondria make their own food?
No,they cannot make food.They break down food.
Where new mitochondria come from?
Mitochondria have their own DNA.So they replicate themselves.
Does DNA have mitochondria?
The mitochondria have its own DNA. They are referred to as the powerhouse of a cell and are responsible for converting the energy from food into a form that cells can use.
