Bacterial cells do not have mitochondria. Mitochondria are organelles found in eukaryotic cells, which are cells that have a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. Bacteria, on the other hand, are prokaryotic cells, which means they lack a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles like mitochondria. Instead, bacteria generate energy through other mechanisms, such as aerobic respiration or fermentation, depending on the species and environmental conditions.
