Best Answer

The mitochondria is the source of energy for the cell. Food comes in and is reduced by the mitochondria into ATP, the energy for the cell. Food goes through glycolysis, then Kreb's cycle, then the electron transport chain. If this confuses you, look in your Biology textbook. Close to 36 ATP is produced through every cycle of cellular respiration, which is the process that mitochondria execute. In summary, mitochondria execute cellular respiration, the process of the creation of ATP, or cellular energy, by glycolysis, Kreb's cycle, and the electron transport chain.
