Detailed explanation-1: -Mitochondrial ribosomes (mitoribosomes) perform protein synthesis inside mitochondria, the organelles responsible for energy conversion and adenosine triphosphate production in eukaryotic cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -The classic role of mitochondria is oxidative phosphorylation, which generates ATP by utilizing the energy released during the oxidation of the food we eat. ATP is used in turn as the primary energy source for most biochemical and physiological processes, such as growth, movement and homeostasis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitochondria interact with the endoplasmic reticulum, lysosomes, cytoskeleton, peroxisomes, and nucleus in several ways, ranging from signal transduction, vesicle transport, and membrane contact sites, to regulate energy metabolism, biosynthetic processes, apoptosis, and cell turnover.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitochondria use proteins to break down sugars and produce cellular energy in the form of ATP. By far the majority of mitochondrial proteins, about 99%, are made outside the mitochondria in the cellular cytoplasm, the liquid inside a cell.
