Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mitochondria are responsible for generating ATP during cellular respiration. A deficiency or defect in enzymes involved in this process would lead to decreased energy production and fatigue, as seen in the distant cousin's case. Lysosomes, Golgi apparatus, and ribosomes are not directly involved in ATP production.
