They help release energy stored in other nutrients.
Any energy-yielding nutrients that are ingested in excess will be stored as body fat.
Energy-yielding nutrients consumed in excess, particularly carbohydrates and fats, can lead to storage of fat. When these nutrients are not utilized as immediate energy, they are converted and stored as fat in the body for later use.

Mitochondria generate the cell's energy by the process of oxidative phosphorylation, utilizing oxygen to release energy stored in cellular nutrients

A living organism uses the process of cellular respiration to release stored chemical energy from nutrients. This process involves breaking down glucose molecules to produce ATP, which is the energy currency of the cell.
Calorie containing nutrients--fats, carbohydrates, and protein, are stored as fat if not used as energy by the body.
As an energy source (NOTE there re exceptions).They need energy for functioning. This energy is generated by mitochondria
Excess nutrients are stored in the body as energy reserves in the form of glycogen in muscles and the liver, and as triglycerides in adipose tissue. These reserves can be used by the body when needed for energy production.
