Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Understand the function of ATP in the cell. ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the primary energy currency of the cell, used to power various biological processes.

Step 2: Learn about cellular respiration. Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into ATP, carbon dioxide, and water. This process occurs in specific organelles within eukaryotic cells.

Step 3: Identify the organelle responsible for cellular respiration. The mitochondrion is the organelle where cellular respiration takes place. It contains enzymes and structures necessary for the stages of cellular respiration: glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

Step 4: Compare the functions of the other organelles listed. The Golgi apparatus is involved in modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins; lysosomes are responsible for breaking down waste and cellular debris; and the endoplasmic reticulum is involved in protein and lipid synthesis. None of these organelles are directly involved in ATP production through cellular respiration.

Step 5: Conclude that the mitochondrion is the correct answer based on its role in producing ATP through cellular respiration in eukaryotic cells.
