Question

which organelle is responsible for converting glucose into usable energy? * a) ribosome b) mitochondrion c) golgi apparatus d) chloroplast

Explanation:

• Ribosomes (A) are for protein synthesis.
• Mitochondria (B) perform cellular respiration, converting glucose to ATP (usable energy).
• Golgi Apparatus (C) modifies and packages proteins.
• Chloroplasts (D) (in plants) convert light to glucose (photosynthesis), not glucose to energy. So the correct organelle is mitochondrion.

Answer:

B) Mitochondrion
