What is the role of the mitochondria?

  1. Producing new molecules

  2. Transcribing genetic information

  3. Converting energy from the sun to glucose

  4. Producing energy in the form of ATP

The correct answer is: Producing energy in the form of ATP

The role of the mitochondria is to produce energy for the cell in the form of ATP. Option A is incorrect because molecules are produced elsewhere in the cell. Option B is incorrect because genetic information is transcribed in the nucleus, not the mitochondria. Option C is incorrect because photosynthesis is responsible for converting energy from the sun to glucose, and this process also occurs in the chloroplast, not the mitochondria. It is important to note that while all of these functions are crucial for cell survival, producing energy in the form of ATP is the primary role of the mitochondria.
