No, mitochondria convert the sugar into the chemical currency a cell can use called ATP
If there is another way to produce energy. If they are respiring anaerobically,they do not need mitochondria

∙ 14y agoYes. All prokaryotic cells are without mitochondria. In fact, prokaryotic cells lack all membrane-bound organelles, even a nucleus.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoYes, because the other organelles are more important.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoNo, the plant wouldnt have enough energy without it.........................
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoNo,it is very important.It is a vital organell.
Wiki User
∙ 8y agoIt is possible if energy is provided from outside. But most cells cannot

What would happen if the cell didn't have a mitochondria?
Your cells would die. The mitochondria is the "power house" of the cell, it is what gives you energy. If a cell for some reason losses its mitochondria, itll be extremely weak and eventually dieAll cells rely on a chemical called ATP (adenosine triphosphate) to provide energy for all cellular processes. The Mitochondria produce ATP through cellular respiration. Without the Mitochondria, sufficient ATP would not be produced. Without ATP, the cellular equipment in cells is insufficient to meet the conditions necessary to be considered alive. In short, the cell would die.Since the mitochondria are an essential organelle in a cell, removing them would not be good at all. Mitochondria serve as the cell's power plant, and without them the cell would have no way to get its energy, and it would probably shut down.The cell would quickly die out and so would the mitochondria. The mitochondria were probably free living aerobic bacteria and cells were anaerobic. At some point in time, the mitochondria were incorporated into the cell and both are endosymbiotic to each other, meaning the have a dependance on each other and cannot live without each other. The cell would die because a majority of previously available ATP would not be there anymore and the mitochondria would die because they no longer have a source of oxygen or glucose.it would die because it would not be able to produce power.sine it is the power house.it will die because it looses its energy and without energy the organelles inside of the cell won't be able to do its job or work.If all mitochondria in an animal were to disappear the animal would cease to exist. They are responsible for the cell cycle. Without them cell division would cease to happen.
Which animal kingdom has no nucleus?
All animals in the animal kingdom have a nucleus. There is one present in every cell. Without it the animal would not be able to survive.
Would you expect to find mitochondria in both plants and animal cells?
You do find mitochondria in both plant and animal cells as eukaryote cells made this symbiotic bargain with free ranging bacteria that became mitochondria. Both plants and animals use the product of mitochondria, ATP, to do cellular work.
How many mitochondria are in a animal cell?
They number in the hundreds - two hundred per Cell are typical.
In what way would having many mitochondria be beneficial to muscle cells?
The mitochondria is used for energy in the human body. Having more mitochondria would be beneficial since it would mean that the body would have more energy when needed.
Do both plant and animal cells have Mitochondria?
Absolutely. The mitochondria are the basic energy creating organelles for the cell. Without them, the cell would die. A plant cell could probably survive off its chloroplasts, but its definently not a given.
What would happen to an animal if its mitochondria disappeared?
It would eventually die with no way to process energy. Mitochondria are used in respiration and without them the cell would eventually die. It could not continuously perform fermentation unless that is the typical function of the cell.

What is found in a animal cell but not in a plant?
That would be the organelle named Mitochondria.
Can a baby beaver survive without mother?
If it has a human to care for it, yes it can. But a duckling in the wild could not survive without it's mother. It would be easy prey and the elements and hunger would kill it if an other animal did not.
Which animal kingdom has no nucleus?
All animals in the animal kingdom have a nucleus. There is one present in every cell. Without it the animal would not be able to survive.
Does animalia have mitochondria?
Yes, in every single cell there is mitochondria. Without it cells would not be able to cellular respire and would die.
What are synonyms of mitochondria?
Mitochondria are referred to as the "power houses" of cells. Without them, cells would not have the energy to function and live.
What does mitochondria do in animal cells?
The mitochondrion converts food energy another form in which is used by the cell to provide energy to the animal
Would you expect to find mitochondria in both plants and animal cells?
You do find mitochondria in both plant and animal cells as eukaryote cells made this symbiotic bargain with free ranging bacteria that became mitochondria. Both plants and animals use the product of mitochondria, ATP, to do cellular work.
What animals contain a lot of mitochondria?
every animal has mitochondria in it. The one with the most would probably be an animal that eats lots of grass and needs lots of energy like tigers zebras or gazelles
Mitochondria important to life?
Without them we would be dead in a few minutes.
