Mitochondria are what organelles?

Answer 1

A mitochondrion is itself an organelle.

However, it does contain its own ribosomes. Ribosomes are regarded as organelles when they occur either free in the cytoplasm or attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum.

The theory of the endosymbiotic origin of mitochondria (and chloroplasts) states that mitochondria are descendants of free-living prokaryotic cells (bacteria). Bacteria contain ribosomes, and so do mitochondria and chloroplasts.

Answer 2

Mitochondria are membrane-bound organelles found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. They are known as the powerhouse of the cell because they generate ATP, the main energy currency of the cell, through the process of cellular respiration. Mitochondria also contain their own DNA and ribosomes for protein synthesis.
