This organelle gives the cell energy!
A
Cytoplasm
B
Mitochondria
C
Vacuole
D
Ribosomes
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 proteins and other molecules that make up mitochondria originate in the cell nucleus.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitochondria, using oxygen available within the cell convert chemical energy from food in the cell to energy in a form usable to the host cell. The process is called oxidative phosphorylation and it happens inside mitochondria.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell because it is responsible for the extracting energy from food through cellular respiration. The energy is released in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). It is an energy currency of the cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mitochondria is the organelle that provides energy to the cell. It is a tiny oval shaped organelle found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells and is not found in prokaryotic cells. Aerobic respiration occurs in mitochondria that generates energy for the cell. Energy is generated in the form of ATP.
