14 why do both plant and animal cells contain mitochondria? both plant and animal cells need to use the that the mitochondria food water energy
Mitochondria are known as the "powerhouses of the cell" because they are responsible for producing energy (in the form of ATP) through cellular respiration. Both plant and animal cells require energy for various cellular processes, and mitochondria generate this energy. Food is broken down to provide the raw materials for energy production, water is involved in many cellular processes but not the primary output of mitochondria's main function, while energy is what mitochondria supply that both cell types need.
