Question 34 of 200
Multiple Choice
Ribosomes
0.86%
Explanation:

Ribosomes are involved in protein synthesis, hence, are known as "protein factory" of cell.

Golgi Apparatus
0.68%
Explanation:

Golgi Apparatus is involved in collection, packaging and distribution.

Mitochondria
97.98%
Explanation:

on the cristae of mitochondria are located enzymes and co-enzymes by means of which carbohydrates (starch), fatty acids (lipids) and amino acids (lipids) are metabolized to CO2 and H2O. Energy in the form of ATP is released in this process which is stored within mitochondria. ATP is energy rich compound and it provides energy for various cellular activities. Hence, "mitochondria" is known as "Power-House" of cell. Hence, this optopn is correct.

Chloroplasts
0.48%
Explanation:

Chloroplasts convert solar energy (light energy) into chemical/food energy by the process of photosynthesis, therefore called " site of photosynthesis."
