The mitochondrion (plural mitochondria) is a double membrane-bound organelle found in most eukaryotic cells. The word mitochondrion comes from the Greek μίτος, mitos, i.e. thread, and χονδρίον, chondrion, i.e. granule or grain-like. Mitochondria range from 0.5 to 1.0 μm in diameter. The number of mitochondria in a cell can vary widely by organism, tissue, and cell type. For instance, red blood cells have no mitochondria, whereas liver cells can have more than 2000. The organelle is composed of compartments that carry out specialized functions. 1 DNA  Each mitochondrion has its own circular DNA genome, like a bacteria's genome, but much smaller. 2  This DNA is passed from a mitochondrion to its offspring and is separate from the host cell's genome in the nucleus. 3  Reproduction  Mitochondria multiply by pinching in half  the same process used by bacteria. Most important are the many striking similarities between prokaryotes (like bacteria) and mitochondria: 1  Membranes  Mitochondria have their own cell membranes, just like a prokaryotic cell does. 2  Well, bacteria is made up of a cell, and there is mitochondria in a cell, so therefore there are mitochondria in bacteria. Wrong, bacteric cells do not have any mitochondria because bacteria are prokaryotic cells and mitochondria are only found in eukaryotic cells. Actually: Mitochondria are in both animal and plant cells. They contain a circular chromosome that contains DNA. They are where most of the ATP is made inside a eukaryotic cell. This is in the form of a loop (sometimes referred to as a circular molecule) as in bacteria. 4 Mitochondria contain ribosomes, which in size and chemistry more closely resemble prokaryotic ribosomes than eukaryotic ones. 1 Membranes  Mitochondria have their own cell membranes, just like a prokaryotic cell does. 2  DNA  Each mitochondrion has its own circular DNA genome, like a bacteria's genome, but much smaller. 3  This DNA is passed from a mitochondrion to its offspring and is separate from the host cell's genome in the nucleus. Most important are the many striking similarities between prokaryotes (like bacteria) and mitochondria: 1  Mitochondria Have DNA. Mitochondria and chloroplasts have striking similarities to bacteria cells. They have their own DNA, which is separate from the DNA found in the nucleus of the cell. And both organelles use their DNA to produce many proteins and enzymes required for their function. A double membrane surrounds both mitochondria and chloroplasts, further evidence that each was ingested by a primitive host. Mitochondria and chloroplasts are thought to have arisen from bacteria, engulfed by primitive cells in a process called endosymbiosis. Mitochondria probably evolved when cells took up aerobic bacteria, while chloroplasts were derived from photosynthetic bacteria, such as cyanobacteria. This process of replication is called binary fission and also occurs in bacteria. Replication by mitochondria and chloroplasts is independent of the host cell's replication cycle. Plant and animal cells replicate by a complex process called mitosis or meiosis. Membrane. Mitochondria and chloroplasts are enveloped in two membranes, while bacteria only have one. The inner membrane of mitochondria and chloroplasts resembles the bacterial membrane, while the outer membrane is thought to be part of the original host cell membrane. This process of replication is called binary fission and also occurs in bacteria. Replication by mitochondria and chloroplasts is independent of the host cell's replication cycle. Plant and animal cells replicate by a complex process called mitosis or meiosis. So, kind of by definition, a bacteria can't have a mitochondria, or it wouldn't be a bacteria. Now, bacteria still carry out cellular respiration, which is the primary purpose of the mitochondria in eukaryotes (cells with a nucleus and membrane bound organelles). Bacteria can do this by anchoring some of the proteins that we use in the mitochondria on their own cell membranes and doing cellular respiration there Well, bacteria is made up of a cell, and there is mitochondria in a cell, so therefore there are mitochondria in bacteria. Wrong, bacteric cells do not have any mitochondria … because bacteria are prokaryotic cells and mitochondria are only found in eukaryotic cells. 1 Mitochondria are a simil … ar size and shape to bacteria. 2 A mitochondrion has two membranes around it. The outer one is chemically like a eukaryotic membrane; the inner chemically resembles a prokaryotic one. 3 Mitochondria contain DNA.
