Short answer: Yes!
Long answer: Mitochondria are organelles which provide the cell with energy via cellular respiration. As you may already know, cellular respiration requires glucose as an input, which is aquired through digestion.
A starch molecule is a polymer, and is made up of many glucose monomers. When the chemical bonds of a starch molecules are broken, they are single glucose molecules.
Starch molecules are partially broken down by amylase in the mouth. They are further broken down in the small intestine, where they are also digested and absorbed into the bloodstream. The blood travels through the body and transports the nutrients to the cells.
The mitochondria then uses the glucose for celluar respiration.
I hope I helped (:
