In the 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 option C) "mitochondria".

Explanation:

Mitochondria is considered the powerhouse of the cell, for being the organelle where most of the energy is produced in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This energy is produced by cellular respiration, the pathway at which glucose is breakdown using oxygen and releasing energy (ATP) and carbon dioxide.

volcanoes (an event in the geosphere) release a large amount of particulate matter into the atmosphere. these particles serve as nuclei for the formation of water droplets (hydrosphere). rainfall (hydrosphere) often increases following an eruption, stimulating plant growth (biosphere).
