Mitochondria are the "power-house" of the cell and are responsible for most ATP production in the presence of oxygen. With oxygen present, fats, carbohydrates, and amino acids can be broken down completely to carbon dioxide and water. However, without oxygen the cell can still generate some ATP with the partial breakdown of carbohydrates. The process is much less efficient, and generates by-products (lactate) that must be shuttled to the liver for processing. Anaerobic (without oxygen) glycolysis (breakdown of carbs) does not require mitochondria, but can not be sustained for very long in any tissue. Therefore, in the absence of oxygen for very long, the tissue will die.

The mitochondria ... it is where the process of breaking up glucose to make ATP occurs.

mitochondria which is double membrane cell organelle present in the cytoplasm of every cell produces ATP i.e. adenosine triphosphate also known as the energy currency of the cell.
