Question

The diagram shows an animal cell.

Answer 1

Answer:

X  

Explanation:

Assume your diagram is like the one below.

X represents a mitochondrion.

That's where the Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle converts a single glucose molecule into six molecules of CO₂.

W is wrong. It represents a vacuole, which can store both nutrients and waste products for later elimination.

Y is wrong. It represents the nucleolus, which plays a critical role in the synthesis of ribosomes.  

Z is wrong. It represents the cytoplasm, which is where cell processes like glycolysis and protein synthesis take place.
