Mitochondria
The last two phases of cellular respiration, the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain, take place in the mitochondria. This is the organelle where most of the ATP (energy) from respiration is released.
most of the energy is produced in mitochondria.

Mitochondria produce ATP which dishes out most of our energy in respiration
Mitochondria are responsible for cellular respiration.
heat movers Most energy is released in structures called mitochondria in the cytoplasm of cells. This is where aerobic respiration (respiration using oxygen) takes place. The products of aerobic respiration are carbon dioxide and water. However some energy can also be released in the cytoplasm by anaerobic respiration (which does not use oxygen). In mammals this type of respiration leads to the production of lactic acid.

mitochondria
Cellular respiration is carried out by plants to break down glucose for energy. The equation for respiration is C6H12O6 ---> 6CO2 + 6H2O. Respiration takes place in the mitochondria organelle.
