The cell organelles that burn glucose and provide ATP (adenosine triphosphate) for active transport are the mitochondria. Mitochondria are often referred to as the cell's "power plants" because they are responsible for making ATP, the cell's main energy-carrying molecule.
By a process known as cellular respiration, mitochondria take energy from organic compounds, such as glucose, and convert it into ATP. This process not only provides energy for active transport but also for other cellular activities like movement and cell division. The mitochondrion has a double-membrane structure, with an inner layer that has folds called cristae, which increase the surface area for ATP production

Mitochondria are the organelles that burn glucose to produce ATP, which is essential for active transport in cells. They carry out this process through glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain. This cellular respiration process requires oxygen and transforms glucose into the energy-carrying molecule, ATP.
