Detailed explanation-1: -Mitochondria are organelles that convert the chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use. Its found in the eukaryotic cells, and plant cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The mitochondria are the organelles that convert various chemicals from food (glucose) into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use, such as ATP (Answer choice D). Mitochondria are the sites of various metabolic reactions.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cellular respiration is the process by which the energy in food is converted into energy that can be used by the body’s cells. The energy stored in glucose is transferred to ATP. The process can be summarized as: glucose + oxygen carbon dioxide + water.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
