A mitochondrion converts ____ into ____
A
energy, glucose
B
glucose, energy
C
protein, energy
D
energy, protein
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitochondria (singular: mitochondrion) convert chemical energy into energy that our cells can actually use. This process is called cellular respiration. 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-2: -Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell. Mitochondria integrate fuel metabolism to generate energy in the form of ATP. Mitochondria oxidize pyruvate (derived from glucose or lactate), fatty acids, and amino acids to harness electrons onto the carriers NADH and FADH2.

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

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitochondria: the energy converters 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.
