Yes; they both need mitochondria for cellular respiration.
Both animal and plant cells have mitochondria because they are essential for the process of cellular respiration, where cells convert nutrients into energy (ATP) using oxygen. While plants also have chloroplasts for photosynthesis (to convert light energy into chemical energy), they still rely on mitochondria for energy production during times when sunlight is not available.
