Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The ____ is the power house of a cell, meaning it stores and creates energy.
A
ribosome
B
lysome
C
vacuole
D
mitochondrion
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitochondria are membrane-bound cell organelles (mitochondrion, singular) that generate most of the chemical energy needed to power the cell’s biochemical reactions. Chemical energy produced by the mitochondria is stored in a small molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitochondria: The Powerhouse of the Cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell because it is responsible for the extracting energy from food through cellular respiration. The energy is released in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). It is an energy currency of the cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -The mitochondria present in the cell are the power-house of the cell which synthesizes this energy. This energy is stored in the form of ATP (Adenosine triphosphate).

Detailed explanation-5: -Mitochondria, using oxygen available within the cell convert chemical energy from food in the cell to energy in a form usable to the host cell. The process is called oxidative phosphorylation and it happens inside mitochondria.
