The answer is tunicates. Tunicates are commonly known as sea squirts and are in the Chordata phylum, even though they don't have a back bone. Which is really weird.

Mitochondria produce atp, a high energy compound. atp is used for all sorts of enzyme-mediated reactions, such as making proteins/nucleotides/etc, certain compounds cross the cell membrane, muscles move, etc.  without this source of energy, a cell will die. it will not be able to repair itself, defend against pathogens, etc.
