What is the function of the mitochondrion?
Think it through first, then pick an option.
- a Protecting the cell
- b Producing energy
- c Multiplying the organism
- d Making food
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: b Producing energy
The mitochondrion helps in respiration and so produces energy.
Why the other options are wrong
- a Protecting the cell: Protecting the cell is the job of the cell membrane and wall, not of the mitochondrion.
- c Multiplying the organism: Multiplying the organism is not a job of the mitochondrion.
- d Making food: Food is made by the chloroplast, not by the mitochondrion.
