Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Mitochondria are known as the "powerhouses" of the cell. Their main function is to perform aerobic respiration. During aerobic respiration, glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen. This process generates ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the energy currency of the cell. While mitochondria do contain some DNA (mitochondrial DNA), the more prominent and widely - known function related to their role in cellular energy production is aerobic respiration for ATP synthesis.

Answer:

performs aerobic respiration to convert glucose into ATP.
