C
endoplasmic reticulum
D
mitochondria
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitochondria are known as the powerhouses of the cell. They are organelles that act like energy generators by taking in nutrients, breaking them down and creating energy rich molecules (ATP) for the cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitochondria is an organelle in which the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitochondria are complex organelles that convert energy from food into a form that the cell can use.

Detailed explanation-5: -A lysosome is a membrane-bound cell organelle that contains digestive enzymes. Lysosomes are involved with various cell processes. They break down excess or worn-out cell parts.
