What evidence leads us to believe that AGNs contain supermassive black holes?

We can detect amounts of electromagnetic radiation being emitted from the centers of galaxies that correlate with those emitted by black holes, as well behavior associated with behavior of black holes whenever amounts of material enter the 'sphere of influence' of the black hole, i.e. the accretion disks found near AGNs being sucked into the theoretical super-massive black hole.

What do scientists think is in center of the Milky Way?
The very center is believed to contain a very powerful black hole.
What is the term for active supermassive black holes at the center of galaxies?
I believe that would be exactly the term - "active supermassive black hole". The term "active galaxy" or "active radiogalaxy" is also used for a galaxy that produces large amount of certain radiations; however, such radiation is really caused by the supermassive black hole.
Do supermassive black holes swallow quasars?
No, a supermassive black hole is what makes a quasar.
What is the center of the milky galaxy professor?
Most astrophysicists believe that there is a supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way.
A black hole is the remains of a supermassive star after a supernova?
We believe this to be true, even though we cannot yet prove this.
What object is believed to reside at the center of Active Galactic Nuclei?
The center of many galaxies is suspected to house a "supermassive black hole". The black hole may even weigh more than all the stars in that galaxy combined. Spiral galaxies are more likely to contain a supermassive black hole.
What is the songs name playing during the baseball scene?

Are there supermassive black holes?
Yes.
Is a blazar an active elliptical galaxy with a supermassive black hole at the center?
A blazar is an elliptical galaxy with a supermassive black hole at the center.
Are there galaxies with no supermassive black holes?
Yes. Some galaxies, particularly irregular galaxies, appear to lack supermassive black holes.
Are quasar's different from supermassive black holes?
Yes. In simplistic terms, a quasar is the result of a supermassive black hole. The gravitational attraction of the supermassive black hole on the galaxy, causes the effect of the quasar. See related questions for more information.
How large is black hole in a galaxy?
supermassive
