Yes. The mitochondria produces ATP by oxidizing the major products of glucose, pyruvate, and NADH in the presence of oxygen. Because oxygen is required, it is known as aerobic respiration. (anaerobic = no oxygen)

ATP production by the mitochondria is done by the process of respiration, if that is what you are referring to. This is the use of oxygen in a process which will generate energy.

Because the cytoplasm region of the cell doesn't contain oxygen therefore it is suitable for anaerobic respiration.


What organelles are used in order to break down food for ATP?

You are referring to the process of cellular respiration. Anaerobic cellular respiration takes place in the cytoplasm. Aerobic cellular respiration starts in the cytoplasm, and is completed in the mitochondria.
