Chapter 7: Aerobic Cellular Respiration in Prokaryotes

Question 1

aerobic cellular respiration in prokaryotes is the same as in eukaryotes except:

Answer 1

1. krebs cycle in prokaryotes takes place in the cytoplasm
2. pyruvate oxidation and ETC occur within the cell membrane
3. during ETC, protons are pumped from cytoplasm to the outside of the cell membrane and diffuse back into the cytoplasm through ATP synthase
4. prokaryotes produce 38 ATP
