Question

controls what enters and exits. in energy production, glucose enters the cell, and the mitochondria conve understanding the order and cooperation of these organelles helps us see how cells function smoothly a 1. what organelle provides the energy needed for the cell to perform its functions?
nucleus
ribosome
mitochondria
golgi apparatus

Explanation:

To determine the correct organelle, we analyze each option:

• Nucleus: Contains genetic material and controls cell activities, not energy production.
• Ribosome: Synthesizes proteins, not involved in energy production.
• Mitochondria: Known as the "powerhouse of the cell," it converts glucose into usable energy (ATP) for the cell's functions.
• Golgi apparatus: Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids, not related to energy production.

Answer:

C. Mitochondria
