Correct option is C
Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell because they generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency of the cell, through the process of cellular respiration.
They have a double membrane and contain their own DNA, enabling them to replicate independently within the cell.
Mitochondria produce energy through aerobic respiration by breaking down glucose in the presence of oxygen.
Cristae (inner membrane folds) increase the surface area for ATP production.
Mitochondria are found in both plant and animal cells, but are more abundant in cells that require high energy, like muscle cells.
Golgi apparatus: It is responsible for modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins.
Plastids: Found in plants, involved in photosynthesis (chloroplasts) and storage.
Endoplasmic reticulum: Involved in protein and lipid synthesis.
