Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mitochondria are often referred to as the "powerhouses" of a cell because they are responsible for producing the majority of ATP, the main source of energy for cellular processes. DNA and RNA are not typically referred to as powerhouses. Ribosomes are involved in protein synthesis but do not produce energy. Electron transport chains are a part of the mitochondrial structure but are not the main focus of their function.
