This converts energy stored in the food eaten into unusable cellular energy
A
Ribosome
B
Rough ER
C
Smooth ER
D
Mitochondria
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Because the energy to drive ATP synthesis in mitochondria ultimately derives from the oxidative breakdown of food molecules, the phosphorylation of ADP to form ATP that is driven by electron transport in the mitochondrion is known as oxidative phosphorylation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitochondria convert chemical energy, in the form of a chemical called adenosine triphosphate or ATP for short. ATP is an energy currency that every cell in our body can use.

Detailed explanation-5: -The process that converts food energy into ATP is cellular respiration. Cellular respiration starts in the mitochondria of cells. It consists of sugar molecules being broken apart and used to produce ATP with oxygen present. Water and carbon dioxide are also products.
