Most eukaryotic cells -- those that contain nuclei -- also contain mitochondria, but there are exceptions to this rule. Some parasitic protists take energy from their hosts and do not have mitochondria. In humans, mature red blood cells lack mitochondria nor do they have any organelles. The RBCs die after 120 days because of this. They can't make energy.

What cell is the process by which cells release energy without oxygen?

Anaerobic respiration is the process by which cells release energy without oxygen. This process occurs in the cytoplasm of cells and involves the breakdown of glucose into energy-rich molecules, such as ATP, in the absence of oxygen. Anaerobic respiration is less efficient than aerobic respiration but allows cells to continue producing energy when oxygen is limited.
