Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

E. coli are prokaryotes, meaning they do not have membrane-bound organelles like mitochondria.

However, they do perform respiration to produce the energy needed for cellular processes. They can perform both aerobic respiration (in the presence of oxygen) and anaerobic respiration (in the absence of oxygen).

Since they don't have any membrane-bound organelles, these processes take place in the cytoplasm
