Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  • Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis.
  • Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes to break down waste.
  • Chloroplasts are for photosynthesis in plant cells (not energy conversion from food in both plant and animal cells).
  • Mitochondria are the power - houses of the cell. They perform cellular respiration, taking in nutrients (food - like in the form of organic molecules) and converting them into ATP (energy) through a series of biochemical reactions. This process occurs in both plant and animal cells.

Answer:

Mitochondria
