Strictly speaking, they're not parasitic. Within biology a parasite is an organism that feeds off and harms its host. Mitochondria actually produce adenosine triphosphate, which we animals use to power every chemical reaction within our body!Raziel_Likes_Souls said:Mitochondria, eh?

Our cells are composed of other cells! Humans have organelles in their cells called 'Mitochondria', which were once independent prokaryotic cells that evolved to form a symbiotic relationship with our current day eukaryotic cells!
