Converts food into usable energy for the cell
A
Mitochondria
B
Chloroplast
C
Nucleus
D
Vacuole
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Glycolysis Is a Central ATP-producing Pathway During glycolysis, a glucose molecule with six carbon atoms is converted into two molecules of pyruvate, each of which contains three carbon atoms.

Detailed explanation-3: -Most of the energy synthesized by mitochondria comes from the process of cellular respiration. During cellular respiration, food molecules are broken down using oxygen to release energy in the form of ATP.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitochondria are the organelles that function as the powerhouse of the cell. They convert the chemical energy from the food into an energy in the form of ATP in which the cells can use in order to do its work.
