This serves as the “powerhouse” of the cell by breaking down organic compounds and storing their energy in molecules of ATP
A
mitochondria
B
nucleoplasm
C
leukloplast
D
centriole
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The mitochondrion performs most cellular oxidations and produces the bulk of the animal cell’s ATP.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitochondria are known as the powerhouses of the cell. They are organelles that act like a digestive system which takes in nutrients, breaks them down, and creates energy rich molecules for the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Mitochondria 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-5: -Mitochondria: The Powerhouse of the Cell.
