Answer:
1. Are usually single-celled.
2. Do not contain membrane-bound organelles
3. Have DNA located in cytoplasm
Explanation:
Prokaryotic cells are single-celled organisms which have the following characters:
1. They lack a true nucleus and hence, they do not have their genetic material enclosed in a nuclear membrane-bound nucleus, rather it is present in the cytoplasm.
2. They lack all the membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, etc.
3. They are usually. very small in size and hence are microscopic.
Examples include all the bacterias.
Answer: (c) It generates ATP, which cells can use to do work.
(d) It generates chemical gradients, which have potential energy.
Explanation:
The overall process of Cellular respiration is the aerobic break down of organic compounds (food) with the release of CO2, water and energy in form of ATP which drives most cellular work.
Organic compound + oxygen --------> carbon dioxide + water + energy (ATP + heat)
In cellular respiration during the break down of food in glycolysis and the citric acid cycle, chemical energy (NADH and FADH) are extracted from each cellular process and transported to the electron transport chain built in the inner mitochondrial membrane. The chemical energy harvested from food is transformed into a proton-motive force, a gradient of H+ across the membrane. When this H+ election fall from their gradient via ATP synthase, Chemiosmosis couples this proton motive force to phosphorylate ADP to form ATP.

Nevermind. I figured it out!
