The short answer: No.

Mitochondria are the power-house of the cell. It is where the Electron Transport Chain takes place as well as the production site almost all of the ATP a cell produces. Proteins are produced by ribosomes of the rough endoplasmic reticulum.

Okay... the answer above is only partially true. Mitochondria do, in fact, synthesize some of their own proteins, due to the fact that they contain their own DNA. However, the first respondent is correct that most of the proteins used in a cell are synthesized in the rough ER. Hope this helps.

Does mitochondria join amino acids to produce proteins?

No,mitochondria involve in respiration. Protein synthesis take place in ribosomes.


Do mitochondria produce proteins?

Mitochondria do not produce proteins themselves, but they have their own genome and machinery to synthesize a few essential proteins. The majority of the proteins needed for mitochondrial function are produced in the cell's cytoplasm and then imported into the mitochondria.


Do ribosomes produce ATP?

No, ribosomes do not produce ATP. Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis within the cell by translating mRNA into proteins, but they do not generate ATP. ATP is produced by cellular organelles such as mitochondria through cellular respiration.


Briefly state the functions what cytoplasm?

Ribosome plays a vital role in protein synthesis as they consist of protein and RNA. The most important function of the mitochondria is to produce energy.
