Which of these best explains why mitochondria are called the "powerhouses" of the cell? They generate chemical energy in the form of ATP.

They generate energy from photosynthesis.

They control the movement of the cell from one place to another.

They control all the other organelles in the cell.

They generate chemical energy in the form of ATP.

Explanation:

Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell because they "burn" or break the chemical bonds of glucose to release energy to do work in a cell. This releases energy (ATP) for the cell. The more active a cell (such as a muscle cell), the more mitochondria it will have.
