Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mitochondria are double-membrane organelles present in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. They are the powerhouse of the cell, generating ATP (the main energy currency of the cell) through cellular respiration. Therefore, option E, which states that mitochondria are located in the cytoplasm and are energy-generating structures of cells, is the correct choice. Options A and B are incorrect because mitochondria are not located in the nuclei of cells. Option C is incorrect because it does not mention the location of mitochondria.
