Which of the following organelles is responsible for producing ATP in animal cells?
A
Lysosome
B
Mitochondrion
C
Golgi apparatus
D
Nucleus
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of ATP in cells: ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the primary energy currency of the cell, used to power various biological processes.
Review the function of each organelle listed: Lysosomes are involved in breaking down waste and cellular debris, the Golgi apparatus modifies and packages proteins, and the nucleus stores genetic material and controls cellular activities.
Identify the organelle responsible for ATP production: The mitochondrion is known as the 'powerhouse of the cell' because it produces ATP through a process called cellular respiration.
Recall the process of cellular respiration: Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria and involves breaking down glucose and oxygen to produce ATP, water, and carbon dioxide.
Conclude that the mitochondrion is the correct answer because it is the organelle specifically responsible for ATP production in animal cells.
