Yes; they both need mitochondria for cellular respiration.
Both plant and animal cells have mitochondria because they are essential for cellular respiration, a process that converts glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), which is necessary for various cellular functions. Although plants also contain chloroplasts to perform photosynthesis, they still rely on mitochondria to generate energy from the organic compounds produced during this process.
