Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What does the mitochondria do?
A
Takes sugar molecules and bakes a cake ;)
B
Breaks sugar molecules down into Energy, CO2 and water. This process is called Cellular Respiration
C
Creates sugar out of Energy, CO2 and Water
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cellular respiration is a metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose and produces ATP. The stages of cellular respiration include glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, the citric acid or Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cellular respiration. The process by which organisms break down glucose into a form that the cell can use as energy. ATP.

Detailed explanation-3: -Through the process of cellular respiration, the energy in food is converted into energy that can be used by the body’s cells. During cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen are converted into carbon dioxide and water, and the energy is transferred to ATP.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitochondria Function Cellular respiration is the process of making ATP using the chemical energy found in glucose and other nutrients. In mitochondria, this process uses oxygen and produces carbon dioxide as a waste product.

Detailed explanation-5: -Because the energy to drive ATP synthesis in mitochondria ultimately derives from the oxidative breakdown of food molecules, the phosphorylation of ADP to form ATP that is driven by electron transport in the mitochondrion is known as oxidative phosphorylation.
