Answer 4

Mitochondria are organelles where cellular respiration occurs, they have protein complexes where organic molecules (e.g. pyruvate) are oxidized to generate ATP (energy).

I guess the question assumes that glycolysis (the process that breaks down glucose into pyruvate) occurs in the the mitochondria (which actually occurs in the cytosol).

Answer 5

mitochondria is the power house of the cell if presents more mitochondria will produce more energy
