C
Animal cells
D
Bacterial cells
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the primary energy currency of the cell, used to power various cellular processes.
Recognize that mitochondria are known as the 'powerhouses' of the cell because they are the main site of ATP production through a process called cellular respiration.
Identify the types of cells listed: plant cells, fungal cells, animal cells, and bacterial cells.
Recall that animal cells rely heavily on mitochondria for ATP production because they do not have other organelles like chloroplasts (found in plant cells) that can also produce energy.
Note that bacterial cells do not have mitochondria; they produce ATP through processes occurring in the cell membrane, while plant and fungal cells also have mitochondria but have additional means of energy production.
