Well, mitochondria swam in what eventually became our eukaryotic cells billions of years ago and have there own DNA,RNA which means they're quite separate from us. They have a symboitic relationship with us, and we completely depend on them for oxygen

What organism is the mitochondria in?

Mitochondria are found in eukaryotic organisms, including animals, plants, fungi, and protists. They are often referred to as the "powerhouses" of the cell due to their role in generating energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration. Mitochondria have their own DNA and replicate independently of the cell in which they are located.


What are factw about mitochondria and chloroplasts constitution support for the endosymbiont theorym?

There are three characteristics of mitochondria and chloroplasts that support this theory. First, both mitochondria and chloroplasts have two membranes surrounding them. Second, like prokaryotes, mitochondria and chloroplasts contain ribosomes, as well as a circular DNA molecules attached to their inner membranes. Third, mitochondria and chloroplasts are autonomous.


Why do scientists believe that mitochondria were separate organisms?

There are several reasons. First, mitochondria have a capsule around them very similar to bacterial capsules. Second, mitochondria are the only organelles in animal cells with their own genetic material. Third, mitochondria replicate themselves. Fourth, mitochondria are genetically similar to some bacteria.


Where are the most living things live at?

Mitochondria breaks down food and transfer in into glucose (sugar) which then transferring into the energy!


How does lack of mitochondria affect ATP?

Cellular respiration is the process where animals can make energy or ATP. Pyruvates( product of the first step of cellular respiration) gets transferred to the mitochondria. If there are less mitochondria, less pyruvates will be made which means less ATP.

What are synonyms of mitochondria?

What is the organelle where respiration occurs?

Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria.


Could a cell live without a mitochondria?

Yes. Not yours, but there are plenty of life forms the do not require oxygen.


Where in the cell do the two stages of respiration occur?

The two stages of respiration, glycolysis and cellular respiration (Krebs cycle and electron transport chain), occur in different parts of the cell. Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm, while the Krebs cycle and electron transport chain occur in the mitochondria.
