Yes; they both need mitochondria for cellular respiration.
Both animal and plant cells have mitochondria because they require these organelles to perform cellular respiration, which is the process of converting organic molecules (like glucose) into usable energy (ATP). While plant cells also contain chloroplasts for photosynthesis, they still rely on mitochondria for energy production, especially at night or in non-photosynthetic tissues.
