Multiple Choice
In eukaryotic cells, which organelle contains its own DNA (separate from the nuclear genome)?
11. Aerobic Respiration
Mitochondria
Multiple Choice
Which organelle is primarily responsible for producing ATP (cellular energy) through aerobic respiration in eukaryotic cells?
A
Golgi apparatus
B
Lysosome
C
Mitochondrion
D
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the function of each organelle listed: Golgi apparatus, lysosome, mitochondrion, and rough endoplasmic reticulum.
Recall that ATP production through aerobic respiration involves processes like the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation.
Understand that these processes occur in a specific organelle known for its double membrane and presence of cristae.
Recognize that the mitochondrion is the organelle where aerobic respiration takes place, producing most of the cell's ATP.
Conclude that among the options, the mitochondrion is primarily responsible for producing ATP in eukaryotic cells.
