The human body processes and eliminates food waste using the organs of the excretory system. Which organelle performs a similar function in humans at the cellular level?

Lysosome

Explanation:

The lysosome is a part of the endomembrane system. It is a series of sacs containing digestive enzymes that are surrounded by membranes. Lysosomes are produced by the Golgi apparatus. They break down waste products so some components can be released outside the cell and others can be recycled.

cellular respiration oxidizes food into energy in the form of atps.

glycolysis (6 c hexose) > 2x atps are used > 6c hexose biphosphate > 2 x 3c triphosphate >

2 x 3c pyruvate (2x nadh produced from nad) and (4x atp produced)

pyruvate actively pumped mitochondrial matrix.
