Multiple Choice
In eukaryotic cells, which organelle is primarily responsible for producing most ATP via oxidative phosphorylation?
A
Ribosome
B
Lysosome
C
Mitochondrion
D
Golgi apparatus
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that ATP production via oxidative phosphorylation occurs in eukaryotic cells primarily within a specific organelle specialized for energy conversion.
Recall that ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis, not ATP production.
Recognize that lysosomes are involved in degradation and recycling of cellular waste, not energy production.
Know that the Golgi apparatus functions in modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids, not in ATP synthesis.
Identify the mitochondrion as the organelle where oxidative phosphorylation takes place, producing most of the cell's ATP.
