Practice Question

Which organelle is the site for the majority of ATP production?

Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

mitochondria

Rationale:

🔴 The mitochondria are the organelles where the majority of ATP production occurs through cellular respiration.

🔴 They generate energy by breaking down glucose and other fuel molecules in the presence of oxygen.

🔴 The process involves the Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain, both of which produce large amounts of ATP.

🔴 Because of their role, mitochondria are often called the “powerhouses of the cell.”

🔴 Without mitochondria, cells would not be able to meet the high energy demands necessary for survival and function.
