In animal cells, the mitochondria are the site of energy generation. Although glucose that enters the cell is first broken down to 2 molecules of pyruvic acid, this substance enters the TCA cycle, whose products act as electron carriers in the electron transfer pathway which ultimately results the in generation of energy by the mitochondria
