Select the alternative giving correct identification and function of the organelle ' A ' in the diagram.
Options
- AMitochondria- Produce cellular energy in the form of ATP
- BGolgi body - Provides packaging material
- CLysosomes- Secrete hydrolytic enzymes
- DEndoplasmic reticulum - Synthesis of lipids
Correct answer
A. Mitochondria- Produce cellular energy in the form of ATP
Step-by-step solution
Related Theory Mitochondria is sausage-shaped or cylindrical having double membrane, dividing its lumen distinctly into two aqueous compartments, i.e., the outer compartment and the inner compartment. The outer membrane forms the continuous limiting boundary of the organelle. The inner membrane forms a number of infoldings called the cristae towards the matrix, which increase the surface area.
