Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell as they are responsible for generating the cell's energy through the process of cellular respiration.

Answer: D 
 Peroxisomes help to break down fatty acids and detoxify harmful substances by using specialized enzymes.

Answer: A 
 The Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) plays a role in protein synthesis and processing, lipid synthesis, and detoxification.

Note: The Golgi complex also plays a role in protein processing and sorting, but it is not generally known as the powerhouse of the cell. Lysosomes are involved in breaking down cellular waste and recycling cellular components. Free ribosomes are involved in protein synthesis. Microtubules and microfilaments are part of the cytoskeleton and provide structure to the cell.
