Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is Mitochondria.
Explanation:
- Mitochondria store energy in the form of ATP molecules & also responsible for cellular respiration.
- Cell Organelles:
- Cell Organelles define as membrane-bound cellular components.
- These cell organelles are present within the cells and are independent in their functions.
- They coordinate with their structures & function effectively for the normal functioning of the cell.
- Single membrane-bound organelles:
- Endoplasmic Reticulum, Lysosome, Vacuole, Golgi Apparatus, are called single membrane-bound organelles.
- They are present only in a eukaryotic cell.
- Double membrane-bound organelles:
- Chloroplast & Mitochondria are double membrane-bound organelles.
- Ther are present only in a eukaryotic cell.
- The following table shows various structures of cell organelles with their respective functions.
Types of Cell Organelles Name Structure Functions Ribosomes - Non-membrane organelles, embedded within the endoplasmic reticulum.
- Found floating freely in the cell’s cytoplasm.
- Involved in the Proteins Synthesis.
Lysosomes - A tiny, single membrane-bound organelle.
- It is circular-shaped.
- It's filled with digestive enzymes.
- Helps in digestion and digests dead damaged cells & removes wastes also.
- For that reason, it is called “suicidal bags”.
Mitochondria - An oval-shaped, membrane-bound organelle.
- This cell organelle is known as the “Power House of The Cell”.
- The main functions of cellular respiration.
- Storge energy in the form of ATP molecules.
