Question

In a city, it is the "Power Plant" where energy or electric current is supplied to different parts of the city for day-to-day activities.
answer options: Endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, lysosome, nucleus, cell membrane, vesicles, vacuoles, mitochondria, cell wall, ribosomes, and cytoplasm

Answer 1

In the context of "Cell City," the "Power Plant" analogy corresponds to the mitochondria. Mitochondria are often referred to as the powerhouse of the cell, as they produce energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is used by the cell for various activities, similar to how a power plant provides energy to a city.
