Membrane is required for the chemical reactions involved in respiration, the process of which generates ATP and is virtually ide

ntical between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. In eukaryotic cells, ATP is synthesized primarily on the inner membrane of the mitochondria. Since prokaryotes don't have mitochondria, where are the corresponding reactions likely to occur in prokaryotic respiration?
A. In the cytoplasmB. On the inner mitochondrial membraneC. On the endoplasmic reticulumD. On the plasma membraneE. On the nuclear envelope

Answer:

The correct answer is D. On the plasma membrane.

Explanation:

Prokaryotes do not have mitochondria to synthesize ATP but ATP synthesis takes place in prokaryotes on the plasma membrane as the plasma membrane contains the enzymes that are required for ATP synthesis.

The process of ATP synthesis is just like in the mitochondria. NADH helps in building the proton gradient in the outer portion of the membrane by the help of electron carriers embedded in the plasma membrane. Then these protons come back in the cytoplasm through ATP synthase enzyme complex.

This entry of protons helps in the generation of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate with the help of ATP synthase enzyme. Therefore the correct answer is D. On the plasma membrane.

Water can climb trees. What properties of water help it climb trees​
Novosadov [1.4K]
Cohesion helps plants draw water upwards from the root through the stem's transport tubes (xylem) to the leaf. This transport occurs even in large trees and against gravity. Transpiration, evaporation of water from plant leaves, creates a tension on water molecules being pulled up from the stem and roots.

What is formed by sustained volcanic activity at an oceanic-oceanic convergent boundary
Snezhnost [94]

The oceanic plate is forced down into the mantle in a process known as "subduction." As the oceanic plate descends, it is forced into higher temperature environments. ... This partial melting produces magma chambers above the subducting oceanic plate.
