Mitochondria is the organelle that uses energy from organic compounds like pyruvate to make ATP, or adenosine triphosphate.
The purpose of this breakdown is to produce as much ATP as possible through the process of glycolysis and the citric acid cycle. The ATP is then used to fuel other processes occurring in the rest of the cell. The mitochondrion is a unique organelle as it has its own variant of DNA. This allows the organelle to produce its own proteins, tRNAs and rRNAs.
