What is the main function of the mitochondria in a plant cell?
A
To conduct photosynthesis and produce glucose
B
To synthesize proteins
C
To produce ATP through cellular respiration
D
To store genetic information
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of mitochondria: Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell, responsible for producing energy.
Identify the process: Mitochondria produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate) through cellular respiration, which is the main energy currency of the cell.
Differentiate from other organelles: Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts, not mitochondria, and involves the production of glucose.
Clarify protein synthesis: Protein synthesis occurs in ribosomes, not mitochondria.
Recognize genetic storage: Genetic information is stored in the nucleus, not mitochondria.
