Question

rb identify functions of animal cell parts
what is the main function of the mitochondria in an animal cell?
to control which substances enter and leave the cell
to break down sugar and release energy that the cell can use
to make proteins
to package proteins and other substances and send them to different parts of the cell

Explanation:

1. Analyze each option:

• "to control which substances enter and leave the cell" is the function of the cell membrane, not mitochondria.
• "to break down sugar and release energy that the cell can use" is the function of mitochondria (cellular respiration occurs here to produce ATP from sugar).
• "to make proteins" is the function of ribosomes.
• "to package proteins and other substances and send them to different parts of the cell" is the function of the Golgi apparatus.

Answer:

The correct option is: to break down sugar and release energy that the cell can use
