What three key features allow prokaryotic populations to consist of trillions of individuals?

I think the features are that, prokaryotes are small, they produce by binary fusion and that they have short generation times. Prokaryotes are unicellular organism that lack membrane bound nucleus, mitochondria or any other membrane bound organelles. Prokaryotes reproduce asexually through binary fission which is a kind of reproduction that occurs in bacteria and other single celled eukaryotes such as Amoeba. The body separates into two new bodies and where the body/organism duplicates its genetic materials or DNA and then divides into two parts, with each new organism receiving one copy of DNA.

ATP is not generated directly in the citric acid cycle. Instead, an intermediate is first generated by substrate-level phosphorylation. The intermediate is GTP.

A purine nucleoside triphosphate is guanosine-5'-triphosphate.
It serves as one of the components necessary for the creation of RNA during transcription.
The main distinction between its structure and that of the guanosine nucleoside is the presence of phosphates on the ribose sugar of nucleotides like GTP.
Also known as guanosine triphosphate, this energy-dense nucleotide is similar to ATP and is made up of guanine, ribose, and three phosphate groups.
It is required for the creation of peptide bonds during protein synthesis.
Adenine nitrogenous base, sugar ribose, and triphosphate make up ATP, a nucleoside triphosphate, whereas guanine nitrogenous base, sugar ribose, and triphosphate make up GTP.
This is the main distinction between the two compounds.
The alpha-guanosine subunit's diphosphate (GDP) is converted into guanosine triphosphate (GTP), and the GTP-bound alpha-subunit subsequently separates from the beta- and gamma-subunits.
