Solution

The correct answer is (Choice C) Mitochondria provide the energy that the cell membrane needs to move substances into and out of the cell.

Here's why:

The primary function of the mitochondria is to produce energy for the cell. This energy, in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), is used by various parts of the cell to carry out their functions. The cell membrane, in particular, requires energy to move substances into and out of the cell, a process known as active transport. This is because active transport often involves moving substances against their concentration gradient, which requires an input of energy. Therefore, the mitochondria, by producing ATP, help the cell membrane carry out its function.
