The first stage of respiration takes place in the cytoplasm, which is the of the cell. In this first stage, glucose is broken down and no oxygen is used in the process. Explain why very little energy is being produced in the first stage

The light is great source of energy

Mitochondria is the cell organelle that produced the energy that is needed in the body system in form of atp, that is why it is called the power house of the cell. energy is needed by the living organisms to carry out the activities which sustain life.  if the mitochondria is destroyed atp will not be produced. if the mitochondria is destroyed, energy production will stop and the affected living organism will not have the energy to carry out the necessary life processes; this will lead to the death of the organism.
