Which of these alphabets indicate the presence of the power house of the cell?
Correct answer: D. D
- A. M
- B. K
- C. C
- D. D
- E. E
Explanation
The alphabet D represents the mitochondria, which is also known as the cell's powerhouse due to its role in producing energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) through cellular respiration. The mitochondria have a unique double membrane structure and their DNA, which is inherited maternally. They are found in most eukaryotic cells, and their number and size can vary depending on the cell's energy needs.
