Yes; they both need mitochondria for cellular respiration.
Both animal and plant cells have mitochondria because they perform cellular respiration, a process that converts nutrients into energy (ATP) that cells can use. While plants also have chloroplasts for photosynthesis, which converts radiant energy into chemical energy, mitochondria are essential for breaking down these nutrients and providing energy for cellular functions.
