In your cells, cellular respiration happens in a special organelle called the mitochondrion. But as mentioned, prokaryotic organisms don't have organelles. Rather than taking place in the mitochondrion, cellular respiration happens either in the cytoplasm or across the plasma membrane of the cell.

Alenkinab [10]

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.

What is the purpose of carbohydrates in the cell membrane
kodGreya [7K]

Scattered in the lipid bilayer are cholesterol molecules, which help to keep the membrane fluid consistent. Membrane proteins are important for transporting substances across the cell membrane. They can also function as enzymes or receptors. On the extracellular fluid side of a cell membrane, you find carbohydrates.
