I thought the nucleus had something to do with energy too?

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about ribosomes being involved in protein synthesis, not energy release.

I think the mitochondria are the ones that break down glucose for energy, right?

Ugh, I'm totally blanking on the details of cellular organelles and their functions. I'll have to eliminate the options I'm sure aren't right, and then take an educated guess on the mitochondria.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure on this one. I know the mitochondria are involved in energy production, but I can't quite remember if that's specifically for breaking down glucose. I'll have to think this through carefully.

This one seems pretty straightforward. I'm pretty confident the answer is mitochondria, since that's where cellular respiration and energy production happens.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. The question is asking about breaking down glucose to release energy, so that points to some kind of metabolic process. The mitochondria are often called the "powerhouses" of the cell, so that's my best guess.

Ribosomes are where protein synthesis happens, not energy release. I'm going with Mitochondria on this one.
