Question
in eukaryotes, mitochondria are the organelles primarily involved in: multiple choice energy release/capture. protein synthesis. lipid synthesis. phospholipid assembly. export of enzymes.
Mitochondria are known as the power - houses of the cell. Through cellular respiration, they convert nutrients into ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the energy currency of the cell. So they are primarily involved in energy release/capture. Protein synthesis occurs in ribosomes, lipid synthesis mainly in the endoplasmic reticulum, phospholipid assembly also in the endoplasmic reticulum, and export of enzymes is related to the Golgi apparatus and vesicles.
