Bacterial cells don't perform the krebs cyce or oxidative phosphorylation steps of cellular respiration and therefore do not need mitochondria. Bacteria only perform glycolysis which is done in the cytoplasm to convert glucose into ATP to drive cellular work.

∙ 14y agoWhile there are no clear evidences that plant cells do contain fewer number of mitochondria, if such claim is true, it is probably because of the number of other organelles which occupy the space. Organelles such as the large central vacuole (which takes up most of the space available in a plant cell) and plastids such as chloroplasts might be occupying the space that in animal cells, are occupied by lysosomes or more mitochondria.
Another reason why they might have fewer mitochondria is because of plant's less necessity of the organelle. Since plants are sessile and do not contain many parts within an animal cells that require large amounts of ATP, plants should be able to live with fewer mitochondria.

What One structure that is in an plant cell but not an bacterial or animal cell?
The vacuole, permanent vacuole, mitochondria or chloroplast in found only in a plat cell not in a bacterial cell
What would not be found in a bacterial cell?
Any sort of organelles... nor lysosomes, golgi apparatus, mitochondria etc...
Where does most of the metabolic activity in a cell occur?
Most of the metabolic activity in the cell occur in the cell's cytoplasm, specifically in the mitochondria in eukaryotic (not bacterial or archaeal) cells.
How many mitochondria are in an average human muscle contain?
Muscle contains around 750-1000 mitochondria per cell.
A cell that requires a lot of energy might contain large numbers of what organelle?
It would have many mitochondrion (plural: mitochondria) because these are the organelles of a cell that produce ATP, which is what we call energy. They are sometimes nicknamed "the powerhouse of the cell."
What kind of cell has no nucleus and no mitochondria?
That means that it is a Prokaryote, or a bacterial cell.
Does mitochondria have a nucleus?
No mitochondria have no nucleus at all but it contains its own DNA(which resembles to bacterial DNA or genome).
What One structure that is in an plant cell but not an bacterial or animal cell?
The vacuole, permanent vacuole, mitochondria or chloroplast in found only in a plat cell not in a bacterial cell
What type of the cell would contain more mitochondria?
Muscle cell
Does the nucleus of a cell contain the mitochondria?
No it is not in nucleus. It is in cytoplasm
If the cell is active does it have more or less mitochondria?
An active cell will contain more mitochondria than an inactive cell. Mitochondria produce ATP, the main form of energy for cells.
Do animal cells contain a cell membrane but not a mitochondria?
because the plant cell contains the mitochondria in order for the plant to be green
How many mitochondria in bacterial cell?
They do not have any.They are only in eukariyotes
Does bacterial cell wall contain teichoic acid?
Yes, teichoic acids are bacterial cell wall polysaccharides.
Name one of the cell structures that is found in both a bacterial cell and an animal cell?
mitochondria, lysosomes, endoplasmic reticulum....
What type of cell does mitochondria produces energy from nutrients from?
All complex cells contain mitochondria.
Does an animal cell cotain mitochondria?
Yes, all animal cells that I am aware of contain mitochondria.
