Mitochondria perform cellular respiration, a process that
uses oxygen, generates carbon dioxide, and produces chemical energy for the
cell.  The answer is False. Mitochondria

the cell because they are parasites.Mitochondria contain their own genome, are
able to duplicate, and actually divide on a different time line from the rest
of the cell.
