Question

Kitchen of the cell is :

• A. Mitochondria
• B. Endoplasmic reticulum
• C. Chloroplast
• D. Golgi apparatus

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Chloroplast

The correct option is C:

Explanation of correct answer:

1. Chloroplast is a cell organelle found in the cells of the plant and it is the site where photosynthesis(the process by which light energy is converted into chemical energy) occurs.
2. It prepares food for the cells by photosynthesis and is therefore called the kitchen of the cells.

Explanation of incorrect answer:

1. Mitochondria is a membrane-bound cell organelle responsible for producing Adenosine triphosphate(ATP). They are located in the cytoplasm of the cell. It is also known as the powerhouse of the cell because they extract energy from food and release the energy in the form of ATP.
2. The endoplasmic reticulum is a tubular network of membranes located in the cytoplasm of the cell. It is also called the transport system of the cell because they are filled with fluids and transport materials throughout the cell.
3. Golgi apparatus is a membrane-bound cell organelle found in the cytoplasm of the cell. It is responsible for the storage, modification, and packaging of the products synthesized in the cell. It is also called as Golgi body or Golgi complex.

Final answer:

Chloroplast is the kitchen of the cell.
