usually no, but I`m sure there are some exceptions

No. Prokaryotes = bacteria. Bacteria do not contain mitochondria. Bacteria rely on Oxidative Phosphorylation (ATP synthase in the plasma membrane) and Substrate Level Phosphorylation to make ATP.
Only Eukaryotes use Mitochondria to make ATP.

Mitochondria are the powerhouse of Eukaryotic cells and are about 1 um in diameter. Bacteria are Prokayotes which differ from Eukaryotes in that they lack mitochondria and a nucleus, as well as other things. So no bacteria do not have mitochondria.

No of course not!
Bacteria are simple organisms, which also known as Prokaryotes. They don't have nucleus and organelles like Eukaryotes.
Mitochondria is believe to be ancient bacteria or prokaryote that become symbiosis with larger cells through a process known as "Endosymbiosis". This process might give rise to Eukaryotes.
Chloroplast in plant cells is like Mitochondria, which is ancient bacteria that engulf and become symbiosis with larger cell, that might give rise to Eukaryotes.
Mitochondria and Chloroplast are "organelles" of Eukaryotic cells which have their own genetic information which different from the cell. And their genome is resemble to bacteria. This is one of the main key points that give lights to the theory of Endosymbiosis.

No. bacteria are prokaryotic. Eukarotic cells (like the cells in humans) contain mitochondria.

No. They use electron acceptance and donation for energy. Go to wiki, as it is complex and needs more of your perusal than my poor typing.
PS one thing I hate about YA, is this, all the right answers, and there is only one, are getting " flagged " as incorrect. Or, perhaps giving the right answer is insulting to some? When you are that wrong in a science section, take your medicine, do not take it out on the correct. This is not the philosophy section, so opinion needs be restrained by truth.

Yes, because bacteria are cells- and cells contain mitochondria- it's basically what makes them function.

B. bacteria have no organelles!

Yes. Only plant cells and viruses don't.
