A contractile vacuole helps protists eliminate excess liquid. This is a “pumping” process which reduces pressure inside the cell and prevents the cell from bursting. This process requires energy. Which organelle in the cell is the source of energy for the cell?

• DNA
• golgi body
• mitochondria
• ribosomes
