The organelle that processes sugar is the mitochondria. Mitochondria break down sugar molecules through a process called cellular respiration to produce energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). This process occurs in the presence of oxygen and is an essential part of cellular metabolism.
The organelle that processes sugar in eukaryotic cells is called the mitochondria. Although the mitochondria is primarily known as the "powerhouse" of the cell, producing energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration, it also plays a role in processing sugar. During cellular respiration, sugar (glucose) is broken down and converted into ATP molecules, which serve as a source of energy for the cell.
