CELL ORGANELLE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The organelle that provides energy for the cell in the form of ATP is called ____
A
Cell Membrane
B
Cell Wall
C
Mitochondria
D
Nucleus
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: -The process is called oxidative phosphorylation and it happens inside mitochondria. In the matrix of mitochondria the reactions known as the citric acid or Krebs cycle produce a chemical called NADH. NADH is then used by enzymes embedded in the mitochondrial inner membrane to generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Detailed explanation-3: -The correct option is C Mitochondria Which cell organelle produces ATP in the cell?

Detailed explanation-4: -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.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell which produces and stores energy in the form of ATP. ATP or adenosine triphosphate, a complex molecule that contains the nucleoside adenosine linked to three phosphates. ATP is used by all the organism as their primary source of energy.
