Answer:

Mitochondria is the organelle where cellular respiration takes place. Cellular respiration can be described as a process in which oxygen and glucose are converted into carbon dioxide and water along with the release of ATP. This reaction can be written as:

Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon dioxide + Water + ATP molecules

C6H12O6 + 6O2→ 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP

The ATP made can be broken down so that energy is released.

ATP + H2O → ADP + Pi + free energy
