Solution

The correct option is C Mitochondria
  • Energy releasing reaction in a cell occurs in the mitochondria.
  • The mitochondria is a double-membraned cell organelle, known as the powerhouse of the cell which is present in all eukaryotic cells.
  • The inner membrane of the mitochondria is the site of the electron transport chain (aerobic respiration) therefore, consists of respiratory chain enzymes.
  • The enzyme ATP synthase is embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane helps in the synthesis of ATP molecule (energy currency of the cell).
  • So, the correct answer is 'Mitochondria'.
