They oxidize glucose into CO2.Many enzymes are involved in the process
mitochondria
Mitochondria! -produce ATP (energy)
the food that we eat, it goes to the mitochondria where it is broken down into energy.
Food is broken down into particles which go into your mitochondria (in your cells), which convert the particles into energy.
Glucose is broken down by cellular respiration in the mitochondria (first stage in the cytoplasm) and CO2 is released by the process.
The mitochondria releases energy from food molecules. This is where all things are broken down and turned into energy for the cell.
The mitochondria is where the sugars are broken down and which energy is released.
in the mitochondria
Mitochondria
Mitochondria break down food and release energy.

Actually, Carbohydrates, lipid and proteins can be used to be broken down into ATP. However, Carbohyrates are most commonly used because it yeilds more molecules of ATP.
