Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of ATP in the cell: ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the main energy currency used by cells to perform various functions.
Recall the function of each organelle listed: The Golgi apparatus modifies and packages proteins, lysosomes digest cellular waste, and ribosomes synthesize proteins.
Identify the organelle responsible for energy production: The mitochondrion is known as the 'powerhouse of the cell' because it generates ATP through cellular respiration.
Connect the process of cellular respiration to the mitochondrion: This organelle converts glucose and oxygen into ATP, carbon dioxide, and water.
Conclude that the mitochondrion is the organelle primarily responsible for producing ATP in eukaryotic cells.
