Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The organelle that uses up oxygen (through cellular respiration) and gives off carbon dioxide and water is the mitochondria. Lysosomes are involved in digestion and breaking down waste products, the Golgi apparatus processes and packages proteins, chloroplasts are involved in photosynthesis and produce oxygen as a byproduct, and the endoplasmic reticulum is involved in protein synthesis and transportation within the cell.
