Q: ........... is the cell organelle, in which the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur.
  • A. Mitochondria
  • B. Chloroplast
  • C. Ribosomes
  • D. Nucleus
Correct Answer: Option A - Mitochondria are membrane bound cell organelles that generate most of the chemical energy needed to power the cells biochemical reactions. Chemical energy produced by the mitochondria is stored in a small molecule called Adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Richard Altmann, in 1890 established them as cell organelles and called them bioplasts. In 1898, Carl Benda coined the term mitochondria.
