Identify the function of each organelle listed in the options: Ribosomes, Mitochondria, Chloroplasts, and Nucleus.
Understand that ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis, not energy release.
Recognize that chloroplasts are involved in photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy, primarily in plant cells.
Note that the nucleus is the control center of the cell, containing genetic material, and is not directly involved in energy release.
Conclude that mitochondria are the organelles responsible for releasing energy stored in food through the process of cellular respiration, making them the correct answer.
