Nthe cell, which organelle has the function of using oxygen in the breakdown of glucose, releasing energy and carbon dioxide? a) ribosomes b) golgi bodies c) mitochondria d) endoplasmic reticulum

The correct answer is C) Mitochondria.

Aerobic cellular respiration is a metabolic process in which glucose is oxidized to release large amount of energy in the form of ATP ( adenosine triphosphate) that is utilized for various cellular activities.

It occurs in three phases that is Glycolysis ( occurs in cytoplasm of cell), Kreb cycle ( occurs in mitochondrial matrix), and Electron transport chain ( in the inner mitochondrial membrane).

Mitochondia is the organelle that utilizes oxygen as final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain to release energy and CO₂ ( carbon dioxide).
