What do bacteria eat and how do they get energy in the form of ATP?

Cells are powered by a chemical called ATP Adenosine triphosphate that produces energy by a process of protonation. Adding a hydrogen ion proton to the ATP. Cells produce the ATP in something called the mitochondria. Mitochondria are so different from normal cell mechanisms that scientists think they were once a parasitic organism. The combination of these cells that were then formalized by evolution. This concept is enhanced by the fact that mitochondria have their own separate DNA. This DNA is passed entirely from the maternal side of the family and doesn’t undergo sexual hybridization. The mitochondria gets its energy by oxidizing sugars. So the bacteria initiate a chemical process resulting in these sugars and the mitochondria oxidizes them to carbon dioxide and water and transfers the energy to molecules of ATP.
