Do black holes provide the physical force to structure galaxies?

No. The mass, and therefore the gravitation, of black holes, are only a tiny fraction of matter in the galaxies. The greatest part of the matter in a galaxy is dark matter - matter of unknown composition at the time of this writing.

What is the super-massive structure that exists in the middle of nearly all galaxies?
A super massive black hole.
Are there galaxies with no supermassive black holes?
Yes. Some galaxies, particularly irregular galaxies, appear to lack supermassive black holes.
Do the central black holes in galaxies combine when galaxies combine?
Yes they do.
Are black holes found IN the center of every galaxy?
Not all galaxies, but it is believed that the majority of galaxies have central black holes.
Active galaxies are thought to be powered by?
Active Galaxies are thought to be powered by rotation
What are young galaxy stars that have giant black holes at the center?
It's not "galaxy stars", but galaxies, that have the black holes at their center.All, or most, galaxies have a giant black hole at their center.
If you visit a black hole you can go to other galaxies?
no
Will supermassive black holes consume their galaxies?
Yes
How are the centers of many spiral galaxies similar to many elliptical galaxies?
Both have a huge black hole at their center.
What type of galaxie has a black hole in the center?
Basically, all galaxies do. Or most of them.
Is there any galaxies are black holes in Orion?
Sorry - that's so tangled it's hard to establishthe question's meaning. There is a nebula, or star cluster, within (i.e. framed by) Orion; and Orion is part of our own galaxy. I don't know if the nebula is in our galaxy or not. Galaxies are thought now to have huge black holes in their centres, holding the structure together by their gravitational attraction.
Is there a black hole in your galaxy?
All galaxies have black holes, even the Milky Way.
