This is where cellular respiration - the conversion of glucose into energy - takes place. The mitochondria’s role is to take in the glucose from food and convert it into energy, also known as ATP in a process called Oxidative Phosphorylation. The mitochondria contain an inner and outer membrane, Oxidative Phosphorylation occurs in the inner membrane which has folds that help it create more ATP. This energy is used for cellular
