@LectureNotes The specific structure that the arrow is pointing at in the figure is the mitochondria.

The mitochondria is an organelle found in the cytoplasm of cells and is often referred to as the “powerhouse” of the cell. Its main function is to produce energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) through a process called cellular respiration.

Statement regarding the function of the mitochondria:

  1. The mitochondria is responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP.
  2. The mitochondria is involved in protein synthesis.
  3. The mitochondria stores genetic information.
  4. The mitochondria helps in photosynthesis.

The correct statement regarding its function is option 1: The mitochondria is responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP.
