Question

Which of the following are called the "power plants" of the cell?
A) ribosomes
B) mitochondria
C) Golgi apparatus
D) lysosomes

Accepted Answer

Mitochondria are commonly known as the "powerhouses" or "power plants" of the cell because they generate most of the cell's energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration. Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis, Golgi apparatus modifies and sorts proteins, and lysosomes contain digestive enzymes.
