Multiple Choice
Which organelle is primarily responsible for energy production (ATP synthesis) in eukaryotic cells?
A
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
B
Golgi apparatus
C
Mitochondrion
D
Lysosome
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the function of each organelle listed in the problem: Smooth endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, Mitochondrion, and Lysosome.
Recall that the Smooth endoplasmic reticulum is mainly involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification processes, not energy production.
Understand that the Golgi apparatus functions primarily in modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids for secretion or use within the cell.
Recognize that lysosomes are responsible for breaking down waste materials and cellular debris through enzymatic digestion.
Know that the mitochondrion is the organelle where cellular respiration occurs, producing ATP, the main energy currency of the cell, through processes like the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation.
