What organelle is responsible for the production of energy for the cell?

  1. Mitochondria

  2. Lysosome

  3. Ribosome

  4. Vacuole

The correct answer is: Mitochondria

The mitochondria is the correct answer because it is commonly known as the power-house of the cell and is responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP. Lysosomes are responsible for breaking down waste and old organelles. Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis and Vacuoles are responsible for storing materials. These functions are important for the cell, but do not involve directly producing energy for the cell like the mitochondria does.
