The Mitochondrion

Explanation:

The mitochondrion (pl. mitochondria) is an organelle found in most eukaryotic cells. It contains enzymes that facilitate the process of cellular respiration. Cellular respiration is glucose + oxygen = energy + carbon dioxide + water

The enzymes in the mitochondrion help change glucose into various chemical forms that eventually create ATP, what our body uses as energy.
