Well, bacteria is made up of a cell, and there is mitochondria in a cell, so therefore there are mitochondria in bacteria.

Wrong, bacteric cells do not have any mitochondria because bacteria are prokaryotic cells and mitochondria are only found in eukaryotic cells.

Actually: Mitochondria are in both animal and plant cells. They contain a circular chromosome that contains DNA. They are where most of the ATP is made inside a eukaryotic cell. They likely evolved from once free-living bacteria. Prokaryotic cells are only domain Bacteria and domain Archaea, but they all evolved from a single cell that was bacteria, but have now separated cells.

No they don't, since bacterial cells are prokaryotic cells. Mitochondria is only present in eukaryotic cells for respiration in order to produce energy. Prokaryotic cells do not have membrane bound organelles and since mitochondria is a membrane organelle, it cannot possibly exist in a prokaryotic cell. so the answer is no

the answer is NO

This is a pretty interesting question, due to the fact that the mitochondria itself is an organelle that has been linked to being a prokaryote, due to its ability to activate its own metabolism. Do all cells contain mitochondria? If you're talking generally about both prokaryotes and eukaryotes no. Bacteria itself does not contain a mitochondria, they depend on fermentation t provide their own metabolic energy, whether alcohol, or lactic acid fermentation through an anaerobic process known as Glycolisis. However not all Eukaryotic cells contain a mitochondria, lets use Erythrocytes [red blood cells] who lack organelles as they mature. These cardiac units don't posses the ATP power-house. As they don't depend on metabolic activity but the flow through vessels for target distribution.

So yeah not all cells contain a mitochondria, prokaryotes lack them, and some human cells do as well, i hope this helped ya =]

No. One mitochondria is approximately the same size as a bacterium cell.

Yeast, on the other hand - another single cell organism - does have mitochondria, as it is much bigger than a bacterium cell.

No, the lack of mitochondria, nuclei and other internal cellular structures found in animals and plants are the main classifications of bacteria
