The correct answer is the mitochondria.
The major roles of mitochondria are to produce energy currency of the cell in the form of ATP, through cellular respiration, and also to regulate cellular metabolism. The organelle uses the available oxygen within the cell to convert chemical energy in food molecules such as glucose in the cell to an energy form that is usable to the cell for powering cellular activities.
