Multiple Choice

A research group has discovered an organism with cells that contain a previously undescribed organelle. They do some tests on the isolated organelle to see if it is involved in any major metabolic reactions. To do this, they incubate these organelles for a period of time and determine changes in the amount of various substances in the suspending solution. The results follow. $$\begin{array} { | l | l | l | l | l | } \hline \text { glucose } & \mathrm { CO } _ { 2 } & \mathrm { O } _ { 2 } & \mathrm { ATP } & \mathrm { NADH } \\\hline \text { no change } & \text { increase } & \text { no change } & \text { increase } & \text { increase } \\\hline\end{array}$$ Based on this analysis, which metabolic process do you conclude is taking place in this organelle?
