Answer:

Mitochondria

Step-by-step explanation:

In eukaryotic cells, mitochondria are the organelles whose function is the synthesis of the energy required for the metabolic functions of all organisms. In the mitochondrial matrix, the 4 steps of cellular respiration occur. This is important, since it will generate ATP at the expense of glucose, fatty acids and amino acids.
