Yes, they are the powerhouses of eukaryotic Cells. {Pardon me as I look 'aside' to Ask if mitochondria are also in Prokaryotes}{Help please}
it is very likely true

Main organelle used in cellular respiration is Mitochondria dude.
The Mitochondria.
I'm not sure if it's accurate to say that the process that takes place in the mitochondria is in fact the opposite of what takes place in the chloroplast. Rather, I would say that the biochemical process of cellular respiration (which partially takes place in the mitochondria) is the opposite of the biochemical process of photosynthesis (which does take place in the chloroplast). In cellular respiration, oxygen is used to breakdown carbohydrates for energy and carbon dioxide is released as a byproduct. In photosynthesis the energy of sunlight is absorbed by the synthesis of carbon dioxide into carbohydrates and oxygen is released as a byproduct. Thus cellular respiration and photosynthesis can be described as opposite processes. However, the process of cellular respiration does not occur exclusively in the mitochondria but occurs in part in the cytoplasm, so I think it's more accurate to say that cellular respiration is the opposite of photosynthesis than mitochondria have the opposite function of chloroplasts.
Some forms of cellular respiration may be referred to as aerobic respiration because OXYGEN is used in the process. Those forms wherein oxygen is NOT used are referred to anaerobic respiration.

You are referring to the process of cellular respiration. Anaerobic cellular respiration takes place in the cytoplasm. Aerobic cellular respiration starts in the cytoplasm, and is completed in the mitochondria.

The Mitochondria.
Oxygen is used up in the energy releasing process known as aerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration is an energy releasing process that does not require oxygen.

The job of mitochondria is to produce energy in the form of ATP through the process of cellular respiration. Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell due to their role in generating the majority of the cell's ATP, which is used as a source of energy for various cellular activities.
Cellular aerobic respiration occurs within the mitochondria.Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria of a cell. Mitochondria are the "cellular power houses" that conduct oxygen and glucose through the cell to the other mitochondria, which use the oxygen and glucose to power the cell. After being used, the oxgen and glucose is transformed into carbon dioxide and water.

The products of photosynthesis are used in the process of cellular respiration and vice versa.
