This organelle functions to make ATP.
A
nucleus
B
rough e.r.
C
mitochondria
D
peroxisome
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitochondria are membrane-bound cell organelles (mitochondrion, singular) that generate most of the chemical energy needed to power the cell’s biochemical reactions. Chemical energy produced by the mitochondria is stored in a small molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Detailed explanation-2: -Most of the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesized during glucose metabolism is produced in the mitochondria through oxidative phosphorylation. This is a complex reaction powered by the proton gradient across the mitochondrial inner membrane, which is generated by mitochondrial respiration.

Detailed explanation-3: -mitochondrion, membrane-bound organelle found in the cytoplasm of almost all eukaryotic cells (cells with clearly defined nuclei), the primary function of which is to generate large quantities of energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Detailed explanation-4: -ATP synthesis takes place in the ATP synthase complex of the Electron transport chain, which is found in the inner mitochondrial membrane.

Detailed explanation-5: -In chloroplasts, the energy is captured and used to produce ATP by photophosphorylation. Thus, two cell organelles involved in energy transformation reactions are chloroplast and mitochondria.
