Mitochondria have their own ____ and DNA floating in the matrix
A
ions
B
ATP
C
water
D
ribosomes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitochondria are special because they have their own ribosomes and DNA floating in the matrix. There are also structures called granules which may control concentrations of ions. Cell biologists are still exploring the activity of granules.

Detailed explanation-2: -Both mitochondria and chloroplasts contain their own DNA and ribosomes. Both plant cells and animal cells possess mitochondria. It has its own DNA and plays a met role in the synthesis of enzymes and the production of energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -The mitochondrial matrix contains the mitochondrial DNA, ribosomes, soluble enzymes, small organic molecules, nucleotide cofactors, and inorganic ions.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitochondrion harbors its own DNA (mtDNA), which encodes many critical proteins for the assembly and activity of mitochondrial respiratory complexes. mtDNA is packed by many proteins to form a nucleoid that uniformly distributes within the mitochondrial matrix, which is essential for mitochondrial functions.

Detailed explanation-5: -The matrix contains mitochondrial DNA and ribosomes.
