Mitochondria provides energy to the body.

Explanation:

Mitochondria is an important organelle of the cell. Mitochondria is also called power house of the cell because it generates energy in the form of Adenine tri phosphate (ATP) by the breakdown of glucose molecules in the process of respiration. In the presence of oxygen, mitochondria produce more ATP while without oxygen very low ATP is produced.
