In which of the following does the electron transport system occur?

Think it through first, then pick an option.

  1. a Nucleus
  2. b Ribosome
  3. c Lysosome
  4. d Mitochondria
Answer and explanation

Correct answer: d Mitochondria

Mitochondria (and plastids) are the organelles that carry the electron transport system.

Why the other options are wrong

  • a Nucleus: The nucleus holds hereditary information; it has no electron transport system.
  • b Ribosome: Ribosomes make protein; they have no electron transport system.
  • c Lysosome: Lysosomes digest material; they have no electron transport system.
