Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mitochondria are the organelles responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration. A metabolic disease could affect the function of mitochondria leading to decreased energy production, which could result in fatigue and tiredness. The other organelles listed (lysosomes, Golgi apparatus, ribosomes, and peroxisomes) are not directly involved in energy production and would not likely lead to these symptoms.
