Mitochondria are main seat of cell respiration. They bring about stepwise oxidation of food stuffs or "low-grade" fuel of cell and transfer the energy, so released, to the energy carrier ATP, the "high-grade" fuel of the cell. ATP is used to bring about energy-requiring activities in the cell. On this account, the mitochondria are often described as the "power-houses", or "storage batteries", or "ATP mills" of the cell

Answer:
Most of the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesized during glucose metabolism is produced in the mitochondria through oxidative phosphorylation. This is a complex reaction powered by the proton gradient across the mitochondrial inner membrane, which is generated by mitochondrial respiration.
