Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Converting the energy from glucose into ATP is a function of the ____
A
Cell Wall
B
Chloroplast
C
Nucleus
D
Mitochondria
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In the mitochondria, the metabolism of sugars is completed, and the energy released is harnessed so efficiently that about 30 molecules of ATP are produced for each molecule of glucose oxidized. By contrast, only 2 molecules of ATP are produced per glucose molecule by glycolysis alone.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Powerhouse of the Cell The mitochondria use it to turn glucose and oxygen into a high-energy molecule called ATP. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the money of the cell world.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitochondria break down sugar molecules and produce energy in the form of molecules of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Detailed explanation-4: -(A) The mitochondrion converts energy from chemical fuels.
