Yes; they both need mitochondria for cellular respiration.

Both animal and plant cells have mitochondria because they are essential for generating adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through cellular respiration, which is crucial for energy production in both types of cells. While plant cells also contain chloroplasts for photosynthesis, they still rely on mitochondria for energy metabolism, especially in the absence of light or during the night.
