Biology

The process that occurs in the mitochondria to release energy is cellular respiration.

Cellular respiration involves the breakdown of glucose and other molecules to produce ATP through a series of metabolic pathways, including glycolysis (in the cytoplasm), the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain (in the mitochondrial inner membrane).

The other options are incorrect:

Photosynthesis: This occurs in chloroplasts (in plants and algae) and converts light energy into chem...
