Mitochondrion (plural: mitochondria).
They convert glucose (and other fuels) into ATP by cellular respiration: glycolysis in the cytosol, then the citric acid (Krebs) cycle in the mitochondrial matrix and the electron transport chain/ATP synthase on the inner mitochondrial membrane. (In prokaryotes, which lack mitochondria, similar reactions occur at the plasma membrane.)
