Question

select the part whose main job is to break down sugar and release energy that the cell can use.
ribosome mitochondria
vacuole golgi

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each cell part:

• Ribosome: Synthesizes proteins, not energy production.
• Mitochondria: Known as the "powerhouse of the cell," it breaks down sugar (like glucose) through cellular respiration to release energy (ATP) for the cell.
• Vacuole: Stores substances (water, nutrients, waste), not energy production.
• Golgi (apparatus): Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins/lipids, not energy production.

Answer:

B. mitochondria
