Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aerobic respiration occurs in the mitochondrion, which is often called the "powerhouse" of the cell. It is responsible for producing ATP, which is the main source of energy for the cell. Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis, lysosomes are responsible for breaking down cellular waste, the Golgi body is responsible for processing and sorting proteins, and the endoplasmic reticulum is responsible for protein synthesis and lipid metabolism.
