Question

Eukaryotic cells have mitochondria, membrane-bound organelles where ATP is produced. If prokaryotes lack membrane-bound organelles including mitochondria, how do they produce ATP?
A. Prokaryotic cells synthesize ATP by using portions of the plasma membrane.

B. Prokaryotic cells use GTP instead of ATP.

C. Prokaryotic cells generate ATP by breaking down old pieces of DNA.

D. Prokaryotic cells ingest the ATP they need from their environment.

Answer 1

Answer:

Mitochondria, for example, are organelles that provide eukaryotes with most of their energy by producing energy-rich molecules called ATP. Prokaryotes lack mitochondria and instead produce their ATP on their cell surface membrane.
