Virtually all organelles need ATP in order to function correctly.

Mitochondria. These "Power houses" are the site for cellular respiration, which converts Oxygen and glucose into ATPs. When ATP is used, it is converted to ADP (Adenosine DIphosphate) and recycled through cellular respiration to gain its ATP status again. Basically, all the cells we contain are tiny recycling bins :) maybe we should learn from them.

all cells use ATP, so basically all organelles(parts of a cell) use it, but some like the mitochondria create ATP-ATP is a molecule that through cellular respiration creates energy and gains the ability to do "work" for cellular proceses

A good way to understand cells at first to to see them as a factory. This factory manufactures proteins. The membrane forms the walls. There are doors which allow necessary things to come in and go out. The floor of the building contains the cytoplasm. The nucleus is the main office. This is where plans are drafted and drawn up to make proteins. These instructions are sent to the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER). This is the factory floor. Each work station is a ribosome. These ribosomes make the proteins. The mitochondria are the power houses using oxygen to make ATP. The Golgi body is the shipping department. It sends out the proteins that the cell needs. The vacuoles are the trash bins. There are parts which are brought out when needed as in cell division: centrioles and fibers.

mitochondria convert glucose into ATP as part of respiration in the cells

They all do. All organelles need energy to perform their functions.

I'm reasonably sure you're looking for mitochondria. They're the main energy-processing organelles.
