Heterotrophic organisms contain animal cells which cannot produce their own food. As a result, heterotrophic organisms have to find other sources of food to fulfill their nutrition needs. This requires more energy on a daily basis. Which cell structure would release the energy a heterotrophic organism needs to find the food it needs?

• vacuole
• mitochondria
• chloroplasts
• nucleus
