Answer:

Mitochondria

Step-by-step explanation:

This organelle is the site of ATP synthesis. As the glucose molecules are broken down, the energy in electrons is used to pump H+ ions into the intermembrane space to create a proton motive force. This proton gradient is used by ATP synthase enzyme to create ATPs that is the energy currency of cells.
