Which of the following cell organelles is responsible for extracting energy from carbohydrates to form ATP?

  1. Ribosome
  2. Mitochondrion
  3. Chloroplast
  4. Lysosome

Answer

(2) Mitochondrion

Solution

As per NCERT, mitochondria are the sites of aerobic respiration; they produce cellular energy in the form of ATP, hence they are called the 'power houses' of the cell.

Ribosomes synthesise proteins, chloroplasts trap light energy to make carbohydrates, and lysosomes digest materials.
