Explanation:

Aerobic reactions of cellular respiration, such as the citric - acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation, occur in the mitochondria. The mitochondria are the power - houses of the cell for aerobic respiration, housing the necessary enzymes. The endoplasmic reticulum is involved in protein and lipid synthesis, the cytosol is where glycolysis occurs (anaerobic part of respiration in some cases), and lysosomes are for digestion.

Answer:

The mitochondrion
