Is it true that human cells does'nt have mitochondria?

Question

me and my friend are arguing about her statement that mitochondria can only be found among the plants, is that true?

Answer 1

All human cells have mitochondria except red blood cells which don't have a nucleus either. Perhaps this was what he/she was referring to.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Huh!!!!! Is your friend kidding? Mitochondria(a.k.a Power House of the Cell), is one of the most vital organelle of a cell(especially, a eukaryotic cell). It's present both in well-developed Plant Cells as well as in Animal Cells.....(not like in some primitive unicellular cells)

Answer 3

Your friend is wrong. Human cells have mitochondria. Your friend is either referring to chloroplasts or cell walls. Chloroplasts and cell walls are only found among plants.  

Answer 4

Without mitichondria you should have been dead. no energy:no life

Answer 5

no

Answer 6

The mitochondria is found in eukaryotic cells, thus found in animal cells, thus found in human cells.

Answer 7

as u know mitochondria provide energy to the cells so how can be a cell lives without energy.

it is ofcourse not true.

Answer 8

They most definitely do, in fact all living organisms above the procaryotes (bacteria and archaea) have mitochondria, that includes all fungi, algae, plants, protista and animal cells whether unicellular or multicellular.  

Answer 9

Of course human cells have mitochondria! It's how we have energy and are able to respirate.

Even Sperm have mitochondria...

Answer 10

Human cells definitely have mitochondria. In fact, most eukaryotic cells have mitochondria.

Human Mitochondrial DNA is actually often used to trace ancestry.
