Do plant AND animal cells have mitochondria?

• No; plants use chloroplasts the way animals use mitochondria.

• Yes; they both need mitochondria for cellular respiration.

• No; plants don’t perform any processes for which mitochondria would be used.

• Yes; they both need mitochondria to convert radiant energy into chemical energy.plant and animal
