Well, the primary function is ATP production (chemical energy source), why, or how they got them is a far bigger question, one popular theory is that organelles were at one point cells in their own right, which were consumed (or assimilated) by another carnivorous cell and over time these cells had a greater ability to survive, reproduce incorporate this new cell into it's cellular division and pass it onto it's daughter cells. This event occurred many many times to result in the modern cell

They both need it to undergo cellular respiration, where sugar is turned into energy, CO2 and H2O. Plants also photosynthesize to make the sugar in the first place.

Is mitochondria found in both plant and animal cells?

Nearly all eukaryotic cells, including plants, contain Mitoochondria.


Do all plants and animals have mitochondria?

Yes all plants and animals have mitochondria because they have cells. Mitochondria helps the cells in animals and plants to produce energy that is essential for survival.


What are mitochondria found in?

Where does the respiration takes place in the plants?

In plants, respiration takes place in all living cells which contains mitochondria irrespective of the plant organs.


Do all plant cells have mitochondria?

No. Other cells such as plant cells contain mitochondria. However, prokaryotic cells such as bacteria do not contain mitochondria and respiration instead occurs on infolds in the plasma membrane called mesosomes.


What is a plant mitochondria?

They are energy generating organells.They are same in all cells


Would you find a mitochondria in a dog?

Yes, all cells need mitochondria, even if only a few. Tissues are made of cells, and muscles and organs are made of tissues. Besides, how would we move if we did not have energy in our muscles?
