Golgi apparatus
B
Mitochondrion
C
Ribosome
D
Nucleus
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the function of each organelle listed: The Golgi apparatus modifies and packages proteins, ribosomes synthesize proteins, and the nucleus stores genetic information.
Recall that the organelle responsible for breaking down sugar molecules to generate ATP is involved in cellular respiration.
Understand that cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose into ATP, the usable energy currency of the cell.
Recognize that the mitochondrion is the organelle where cellular respiration primarily occurs, breaking down sugar molecules to produce ATP.
Conclude that among the options given, the mitochondrion is the organelle that generates usable energy (ATP) by breaking down sugar molecules.
