This organelle is the mitochondrion.
It has two membranes, the outer resembling a eukaryotic one and the inner more like a prokaryotic membrane. This is one piece of evidence supporting the theory that mitochondria, like chloroplasts, originated when free-living prokaryotes were engulfed by eukaryotes.
Cellular respiration commences with glycolysis in the cytoplasm; this is anaerobic.
In the presence of oxygen, the product of glycolysis, pyruvate, diffuses into the mitochondrion, where it is oxidized through a series of reactions to carbon dioxide and water.
Glycolysis yields a gain of two ATP molecules per molecule of glucose, but aerobic respiration in the mitochondrion yields more than ten times as many. The number of ATP molecules produced in the mitochondrion varies, as some of the energy released may be used for other purposes, but it is probably often around 28 or 30 ATP molecules per glucose molecule.
The main organelle used in cellular respiration is the mitochondrion. Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell because they generate ATP, the energy currency of the cell, through the process of cellular respiration.
the mitochondria
Cellular respiration is conducted in the mitochondria of the cell.
The mitochondria is the cell organelle responsible for releasing energy in the form of ATP through the process of cellular respiration. This organelle is often referred to as the "powerhouse of the cell" because it produces the majority of the cell's ATP.
The mitochondria is the organelle responsible for providing energy to the cell through the process of cellular respiration, which produces ATP (adenosine triphosphate) molecules.
Mitochondria. Their surplus is used by the rest of the cell.
Cell respiration occurs in the mitochondria.
The mitochondria is the organelle responsible for producing energy (ATP) for the cell through the process of cellular respiration.

the mitochondria
The mitochondria is the organelle responsible for generating most of a cell's ATP energy through cellular respiration. It produces ATP through a series of reactions known as the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation.
Cellular respiration is conducted in the mitochondria of the cell.
the 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.
