Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Mitochondria is Semi Autonomous in Nature:-

Semi autonomous - This means any substance having its own identity is called semi autonomous in nature.

True, Mitochondria is semi Autonomous as it has it's own characteristics. What makes it unique is

• It has and created it's own DNA or Deoxyribonucleic Acid.
• We know that Cells itself are made up of cell Organelles and controlled by Nucleus ( Also called as Captain of the Cell)
• But, Mitochondria do posses it's own Nucleus
• But also, it gets controlled by the cell in which it is present.

Mitochondria and its Varying Noteworthiness:-

• Mitochondria is also called as Powerhouse of the cell due to some reasons
• Actually it is the site where ATP molecules break down to produce energy
• It is also important for respiration of any organism.
• As stated above it is semi Autonomous.
