Not really. Mitochondria use their DNA to produce many proteins and enzymes required for their function but not all. That makes the idea that they make their own food a little fuzzy. They can't live outside the cell that they are in, since they need some things from the 'host' cell.
What else can I help you with?
What part of the cell does a plant use to make its own food?
Plants use chloroplasts to make their own food through a process called photosynthesis. Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, a pigment that captures sunlight and converts it into energy for the plant to produce glucose.
Which of these cellular organelles have their own DNA?
Mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA. Mitochondria DNA is circular, similar to bacterial DNA, and is inherited maternally. Chloroplasts also have circular DNA and are thought to have originated from endosymbiotic relationships with ancient prokaryotes.
Cells power plants break down food molecules to make ATP?
mitochondria
What role do mitochondria have in transcription?
Mitochondria have their own separate genome and their own transcription machinery, allowing them to transcribe their own genes independently of the nuclear genome. This process is essential for producing proteins needed for cellular respiration and ATP production within the mitochondria.
How can mitochondria make their own protein?
Mitochondria have their own DNA and ribosomes, which allow them to synthesize their own proteins independent of the cell's nucleus. The DNA in mitochondria contains genes that encode for proteins involved in energy production and other mitochondrial functions. These proteins are synthesized by mitochondria's ribosomes using the genetic information from their DNA.
Can mitochondria make their own food?
No,they cannot make food.They break down food.
What organelles make their own DNA?
mitochondria
What is the kitchen of cell?
Mitochondria. They make "food" (ATP) from the cell using "ingredients" (sugars).
How do producer make food?
process by which mitochondria makes energy
What in the cell breaks down the food molecules to make ATP?
mitochondria
Does electron transport occur during mitochondria?
Mitochondria are the powerhouses of thE cell, they arE a organelle they make energy from your food. Hope this helps!!
What is the power plant of the cell that breaks down food molecules to make ATP?
That would be the Mitochondria... AKA "MIGHTY" chondria!!mitochondria
What is a organism that can make its own food?
Autotrophs can make their own food.
Which of these cellular organelles have their own DNA?
Mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA. Mitochondria DNA is circular, similar to bacterial DNA, and is inherited maternally. Chloroplasts also have circular DNA and are thought to have originated from endosymbiotic relationships with ancient prokaryotes.
What part of the cell does a plant use to make its own food?
Plants use chloroplasts to make their own food through a process called photosynthesis. Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, a pigment that captures sunlight and converts it into energy for the plant to produce glucose.
What converts food to energy that the cell can use?
Mitochondria are responsible for converting nutrients from the food we consume into energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) that the cell can use. This process, known as aerobic respiration, occurs in the mitochondria's inner membrane.
How is the mitochondria like a lunch lady?
The mitochondria can be compared to a lunch lady because it is responsible for providing energy, much like how a lunch lady provides food for students. Mitochondria also have their own DNA, similar to how a lunch lady might have her own recipe or way of preparing food. Lastly, just as a lunch lady is essential for providing nourishment to students, the mitochondria is essential for providing energy to cells.
