Question
which organelle is responsible for most steps in making atp? mithochondria cell membrane ribosomes chloroplasts rewatch
Mitochondria are known as the "powerhouses" of the cell. They generate most of the cell's supply of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through cellular respiration. The cell membrane is mainly involved in regulating what enters and leaves the cell. Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis. Chloroplasts are involved in photosynthesis in plant cells, not the main site for most ATP - making steps in most eukaryotic cells (except in some plant cells where chloroplasts can make ATP during the light - dependent reactions of photosynthesis, but mitochondria still make the majority in non - photosynthetic eukaryotic cells and in the overall context of most eukaryotic cells).
