Biology · Secondary 3 · Medium · Mitochondria and ribosomes
Which organelle would you expect to find in greater numbers in a cell that carries out active transport continuously, and why?
- Mitochondria, because they release energy needed for active transport.
- Ribosomes, because they control the entry of ions into the cell.
- Chloroplasts, because they absorb light for active transport.
- Nuclei, because they directly pump ions across membranes.
