Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which organelle performs energy conversions in animal cells?
A
Ribosome
B
Chromosome
C
Mitochondria
D
Chloroplast
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitochondria (singular, mitochondrion) are often called the powerhouses or energy factories of the cell. Their job is to make a steady supply of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the cell’s main energy-carrying molecule.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitochondria are known as the powerhouses of the cell. They are organelles that act like a digestive system which takes in nutrients, breaks them down, and creates energy rich molecules for the cell. In cellular respiration sugar with the help of oxygen is broken down into ATP (energy molecule).

Detailed explanation-3: -Electron transport processes. (A) The mitochondrion converts energy from chemical fuels.

Detailed explanation-4: -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).
