What do mitochondria break down?

Glucose, a type of sugar, initially gets broken down via glycolysis in the cytosol into pyruvate molecules. Mitochondria then break down the pyruvate extracting the electrons from them. The simple answer though is that mitochondria break down a sugar called glucose.

What are organelles that break down sugar to produce energy?

The breakdown of sugar (mainly glucose) is called glycolysis and occurs in the cytoplasm of a cell. The product of glycolysis is pyruvate, which is used to make ATP energy by the Krebs Cycle in the mitochondria.
