Answer:

The correct answer is - glucose is broken down into cellular energy (ATP).

Explanation:

Mitochondria is the double membrane cell organelle presents in all eukaryotic cells that produce the energy by the process of cellular respiration from the food to the cell to perform its day to day functions.

The cellular respiration is the process that involves the braking of the sugars into simple molecules and these catabolic reaction produce energy with CO2 and water as waste. The energy is stored in the form of ATP which is generated in the inner membrane of mitochondria. ATP is used by the cell to perform its function.

Thus, the prower house of the cell is mitochondria.

Which coefficients balance this equation? _CH4 + _O2 -> _CO2 + _H2O A. 1, 1, 1, 1 B. 1, 1, 2, 1 C. 1, 2, 1, 2 D. 2, 1, 2, 1
ICE Princess25 [194]
C. 1,2,1,2 
 
1 CH4+ 2 O2= 1 CO2+ 2 H20.

when balancing, you need to make sure that each side has the same number of each atom. The reason for this is to abide by the law of conservation of mass; essentially you can't have more or less than you put in the equation. 

When you put the coefficients of C. into the equation you have a total of 2 carbon atoms on each side, 4 hydrogen atoms, and 4 oxygen atoms.
