Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which organelles produce most of the energy needed by a cell?
A
MItochondria
B
Chloroplasts
C
Vacuoles
D
Ribosomes
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 mitochondrion performs most cellular oxidations and produces the bulk of the animal cell’s ATP.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitochondria: the energy converters 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.

Detailed explanation-4: -Your heart muscle cells – with about 5, 000 mitochondria per cell. These cells need more energy, so they contain more mitochondria than any other organ in the body!

Detailed explanation-5: -Mitochondria are the working organelles that keep the cell full of energy. Mitochondria are small organelles floating free throughout the cell. Some cells have several thousand mitochondria while others have none. Muscle cells need a lot of energy so they have loads of mitochondria.
