A mitochondrion is an organelle, a specialized structure found inside almost all eukaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells contain a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, like mitochondria. Mitochondria have been called the powerhouse of the cell because of their role in cellular respiration and energy production. Without mitochondria, we would not be able to properly use our energy and live.

Cellular respiration occurs when oxygen breaks down food molecules and generates energy (ATP). Check out the diagram below:

Respiration
You might notice that cellular respiration is occurring primarily within the mitochondrion. It's important to note that cellular respiration is the means by which we use materials to create energy for our basic metabolic processes. Without cellular respiration, we would not be able to function and live; and yes, all living things utilize some form of cellular respiration, including plants that also rely upon photosynthesis.
