Yes; they both need mitochondria for cellular respiration.
Both animal and plant cells use mitochondria to produce energy in the form of ATP through the process of cellular respiration, which is essential for various cellular functions. While plants also have chloroplasts for photosynthesis, they still require mitochondria for energy production, especially during periods when light is not available.
