Verified step by step guidance

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

Step 2: Review the role of organelles in energy production. The mitochondrion is the organelle responsible for producing ATP through cellular respiration, specifically in the process of oxidative phosphorylation.

Step 3: Compare the functions of the listed organelles: Lysosomes are involved in digestion and waste processing, the Golgi apparatus modifies and packages proteins, and the endoplasmic reticulum is involved in protein and lipid synthesis. None of these are directly responsible for ATP production.

Step 4: Recall the structure and function of mitochondria. Mitochondria have a double membrane, with the inner membrane containing folds called cristae where the electron transport chain and ATP synthesis occur.

Step 5: Conclude that the mitochondrion is the correct answer because it is the organelle specialized for ATP production in eukaryotic cells.
