What happens in the mitochondria

The process of cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria.

Explanation:

Cellular respiration can be described as the process by which cells of the body convert oxygen and glucose into carbon dioxide and water along with the release of ATP. The ATP released by this process is used by each cell to carry out its essential and normal functions such as the growth of a cell. The process of cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria of the cell and hence they are known to be the powerhouse of a cell.
