ATP is made in this organelle
A
Nucleus
B
Golgi Body
C
Smooth ER
D
Mitocondria
E
Enzymes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The mitochondrion performs most cellular oxidations and produces the bulk of the animal cell’s ATP. The mitochondrial matrix contains a large variety of enzymes, including those that convert pyruvate and fatty acids to acetyl CoA and those that oxidize this acetyl CoA to CO2through the citric acid cycle.

Detailed explanation-2: -Most of the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesized during glucose metabolism is produced in the mitochondria through oxidative phosphorylation.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -ATP synthesis takes place in the ATP synthase complex of the Electron transport chain, which is found in the inner mitochondrial membrane.

Detailed explanation-5: -The majority of ATP synthesis occurs in cellular respiration within the mitochondrial matrix: generating approximately thirty-two ATP molecules per molecule of glucose that is oxidized.
