Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the main energy currency of the cell, produced through a process called cellular respiration.
Recall that cellular respiration primarily occurs in a specific organelle known for its role in energy production.
Identify the organelle that has a double membrane and contains its own DNA, which is specialized for producing ATP.
Recognize that the mitochondrion carries out cellular respiration by converting glucose and oxygen into ATP, carbon dioxide, and water.
Conclude that among the options given, the mitochondrion is the organelle primarily responsible for producing ATP through cellular respiration.
