Multiple Choice
Which organelle produces most of the energy a cell needs to function by generating ATP through cellular respiration?
A
Lysosome
B
Golgi apparatus
C
Mitochondrion
D
Ribosome
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the organelle responsible for energy production in the cell by recalling the main function of each listed organelle.
Understand that lysosomes are involved in breaking down waste materials and cellular debris, not energy production.
Recall that the Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids, but does not generate ATP.
Recognize that ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis, not energy generation.
Conclude that the mitochondrion is the organelle that produces most of the cell's energy by generating ATP through cellular respiration.
