They capture energy from food broken down to form ATP (adenosine triphosphate) molecules. ATP provides the energy for all cellular work and every living cell requires a constant supply of ATP for its activities. Because the mitochondria supply most of this energy, they are referred to as the "powerhouse" of the cell.
