Yes, all cells contain mitochondria which is needed for energy production from sugar (the energy is in the form of ATP). All cells need ATP to keep ion pumps working, and a variety of other tasks. This applies even to "resting" cells that are not activated and simply waiting for something to stimulate them. B lymphocytes are resting cells - they are waiting for a foreign protein from a virus or bacteria to enter the body,. When that happens, the B cell (and ONLY those that bind the foreign protein) wake up and begin to do many other things.
Resting cells have fewer mitochondria than active cells. So when the B cells are in their resting state, tehy have very few mitochondria. When they become activated, they have many more.

What does the medullary cords of a lymph node contain?
The medullary cords of a lymph node contain: reticular cells, lymphocytes, macrophages and plasma cells. It is important to understand that lymphocytes include both B cells and T cells. Note also that plasma cells derive from B cells. If asked a correct answer could be B cells and also plasma cells depending on the level of the material.
What is the function of B Lymphocytes?
IMPORTANCE OF B LYMPHOCYTES: 1.b lymphocytes play important role in humeral immune response. 2.they secretes antibodies. 3.they differentiate into memory and plasma cells.
