A
Lysosome
B
Ribosome
C
Golgi apparatus
D
Mitochondrion
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that ATP production during aerobic respiration primarily occurs through a process called oxidative phosphorylation.
Recall that oxidative phosphorylation takes place in the mitochondria, which are known as the 'powerhouses' of the cell because they generate most of the cell's ATP.
Recognize that oxygen is the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, a key component of oxidative phosphorylation, making oxygen essential for this process.
Identify that other organelles listed (lysosome, ribosome, Golgi apparatus) do not perform oxidative phosphorylation or require oxygen to produce ATP.
Conclude that the mitochondrion is the cellular organelle that primarily requires oxygen to produce ATP via oxidative phosphorylation during aerobic respiration.
