14. site of detoxification of alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, and harmful
chemicals

B. Multiple Choice:

6. Which organelles are responsible for providing the bulk of ATP needed by
the cell and are therefore often referred to as the “powerhouses” of the cell?
a) Centrioles
b) Mitochondria
c) Lysosomes
d) Ribosomes

7. Which of the following organelles are NOT paired correctly with their
location within the cell?
A) Nucleolus—within the nucleus
B) Cilia—on the cell surface
C) Golgi apparatus—on the cell surface
D) Microtubules—within the cytoplasm
