Answer:

Mitochondria, using oxygen available within the cell convert chemical energy from food in the cell to energy in a form usable to the host cell. ... NADH is then used by enzymes embedded in the mitochondrial inner membrane to generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Explanation:

Just as fire burns oxygen and gives off carbon dioxide and water, mitochondria act like furnaces when they convert glucose into adenosine triphosphate (ATP): They “burn” (use) oxygen and give off carbon dioxide and water. Because the process uses oxygen, it is said to be aerobic (as in aerobic exercise).

Explanation:

Mitochondria are membrane-bound cell organelles found in the cytoplasm of all eukaryotic cells. They generate energy ATP (Adenosine Tri Phosphate) from food through cellular respiration. Therefore, mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell.
