Question

which statement is correct about organelles that provide energy? (1 point)
they are found only in plant cells.
they are responsible for cellular respiration.
they are found only in animal cells.
they are responsible for protein synthesis.

Explanation:

1. Analyze each option:

• Option 1: Energy - providing organelles (mitochondria) are in both plant and animal cells, so this is wrong.
• Option 2: Mitochondria (energy - providing organelle) perform cellular respiration to produce energy (ATP), so this is correct.
• Option 3: Energy - providing organelles are in both plant and animal cells, so this is wrong.
• Option 4: Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis, not energy - providing organelles, so this is wrong.

Answer:

B. They are responsible for cellular respiration.
