What is the purpose of the mitochondrias of the plant cell?

Mitochondria derive energy for all cells, plant or animal, in which they reside. They are the aerobic energy-derivers of eukaryotic cells. Plants require energy for multitudinous cellular processes just like animals and that is what the mitochondria are for.
