Ribosome
B
Golgi apparatus
C
Mitochondrion
D
Lysosome
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the function of each organelle listed: Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis, Golgi apparatus modifies and packages proteins, Lysosomes digest cellular waste.
Recall that cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy in the form of ATP.
Understand that the organelle responsible for this energy conversion in eukaryotic cells is the mitochondrion.
Recognize that mitochondria contain enzymes and structures necessary for the electron transport chain and ATP synthesis.
Conclude that among the options given, the mitochondrion is the organelle primarily responsible for cellular respiration and ATP production.
