C
Energy
D
Drake
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The classic role of mitochondria is oxidative phosphorylation, which generates ATP by utilizing the energy released during the oxidation of the food we eat. ATP is used in turn as the primary energy source for most biochemical and physiological processes, such as growth, movement and homeostasis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Listen to pronunciation. (MY-toh-KON-dree-uh) Small structures in a cell that are found in the cytoplasm (fluid that surrounds the cell nucleus). Mitochondria make most of the energy for the cell and have their own genetic material that is different from the genetic material found in the nucleus.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitochondria produce energy through the process of cellular respiration. The mitochondria take food molecules in the form of carbohydrates and combine them with oxygen to produce the ATP.

Detailed explanation-4: -It helps in regulating the metabolic activities of the cell. It promotes the cell growth and multiplication of cells. It is responsible for ATP production (the energy currency of the cell).
