Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The majority of ATP in eukaryotic cells is synthesized through oxidative phosphorylation in the mitochondria. The cytoplasm is mainly involved in glycolysis, which produces a small amount of ATP. The endoplasmic reticulum is involved in protein synthesis and lipid metabolism, but not in ATP synthesis. Lysosomes are involved in intracellular digestion and do not produce ATP.
