Question
what is the function of this organelle? * to make energy for the cell in the form of atp to make energy in the form of glucose to make proteins
The organelle shown is a mitochondrion. Mitochondria are known as the "powerhouses" of the cell. They generate ATP (adenosine triphosphate) through cellular respiration. Glucose is broken down in processes like glycolysis (in the cytoplasm) and then further processed in the mitochondria, but the end - product for energy storage in the cell is ATP, not glucose. Ribosomes are the organelles responsible for making proteins.
