Oxygen

Water

Mamm

Glucose Carbon dioxide

In which organelle does this process take place?

Oseni

Answer:

mitochondrion

Explanation:

The correct answer would be the mitochondrion.

The process of energy production in living organisms happens through oxidative phosphorylation during respiration. The process takes place in the mitochondrion. During respiration, glucose reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water while ATP is generated in the process. The ATP represents the energy currency of the cell.

The entire process of respiration can be summarized by the following equation:

    [tex]C_6H_1_2O_6 + 6O_2 --> 6CO_2 + 6H_2O + ATP[/tex]
