The correct response is:
Yes; they both need mitochondria for cellular respiration.
Both animal and plant cells have mitochondria because they are essential for cellular respiration, which is the process by which cells convert nutrients into energy (ATP). While plant cells also have chloroplasts for photosynthesis, they still require mitochondria to produce energy from the glucose generated during photosynthesis, especially when light is not available.
