Multiple Choice
Which organelle is primarily responsible for producing ATP (cellular energy) through aerobic respiration in eukaryotic cells?
A
Lysosome
B
Mitochondrion
C
Golgi apparatus
D
Ribosome
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the function of each organelle listed: Lysosome, Mitochondrion, Golgi apparatus, and Ribosome.
Recall that ATP production through aerobic respiration involves the breakdown of glucose in the presence of oxygen to generate energy.
Understand that the mitochondrion is the organelle where aerobic respiration occurs, specifically in the inner membrane where the electron transport chain is located.
Recognize that lysosomes are involved in digestion and waste processing, Golgi apparatus in protein modification and sorting, and ribosomes in protein synthesis, none of which produce ATP through aerobic respiration.
Conclude that the mitochondrion is the organelle primarily responsible for producing ATP in eukaryotic cells.
