Questions :
Which cell organelle is known as the "Powerhouse of the Cell"?
Options :
- Nucleus
- Ribosome
- Mitochondria
- Golgi Apparatus
correct answer : c)
Explanation :
Mitochondria are known as the "Powerhouse of the Cell" because they produce ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate), which provides energy for various cellular activities. The nucleus controls cellular functions and contains genetic material but does not produce energy. Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis, while the Golgi Apparatus modifies, packages, and transports proteins and lipids within the cell.
