Answer:

Yes, plants have Mitochondria because it an important organelle plant need so as to oxidize glucose to produce energy so as to carry out all it's life activities.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mitochondria is an organelle found in plants and animals cells. It power the cell, hence it is known as the power house. This organelle help to oxidize glucose during the cellular respiration to produce ATP.

Plants require both chlorophyii and Mitochondria for survival.
