Mitochondria

 Power house of cell production - 

Which of the following cell organelles are abundant in nerve and muscle cells to help meet their ATP requirements?
MY ANSWER
The endoplasmic reticulum helps in synthesis, packaging, and transport of materials. It does not make ATP.
Mitochondria play a role in cellular respiration and help generate ATP, which provides cellular energy to carry out different functions.
Golgi bodies help sort, modify, and transport products that they receive from the endoplasmic reticulum. It does not make ATP.
The nucleus contains the cell's genetic material and helps control the activities of a cell. It does not make ATP.

Mitochondria play a role in cellular respiration and help generate ATP, which provides cellular energy to carry out different functions.

Main function: They produce energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) through a process called cellular respiration.
