The process that occurs in the mitochondria of cells is called cellular respiration. This process converts biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency of the cell. It involves several stages, including glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. Through these stages, glucose and oxygen are used to produce energy, carbon dioxide, and water.
