Question
_________ are known as “powerhouse of the cell”.
- Golgi apparatus
- Chloroplast
- Mitochondria
- Nucleus
Hint:
Mitochondria are called the powerhouse of the cells.
The correct answer is: Mitochondria
- Mitochondria are tiny organelles inside cells that are involved in releasing energy from food.
- This process is known as cellular respiration. It is for this reason that mitochondria are often referred to as the powerhouses of the cell.
- The proteins synthesized by the proteins in mitochondria are utilized to generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP) from the food. This ATP acts as the energy currency of the cell, because of which the whole cell and body get energy.
