Answer:
Mitochondria are membrane-bound cell organelle present in most eukaryotic cells. It is called the powerhouse of a cell as most of the ATP required to perform various biological activities are synthesised here by cellular respiration.
They contain their own small chromosome, which is generally inherited from the mother. The mitochondrial genome is similar to bacterial DNA and they are deemed to have originated by endosymbiosis of specialised bacteria.
Mitochondria are semi-autonomous due to the presence of their own DNA, which directs the synthesis of some of the proteins present in them.
Autonomous cell organelle are the one which function/replicate without the help of nucleus and has its own DNA.
Unlike other organelles like mitochondria and plastid (called as semi autonomous cell organelle) which need proteins from nucleus to function. They cannot synthesize DNA on their own.
Nucleus is the only organelle which can act independently without the help of any other organelle to function.
