Is it true that the cellular respiration in eukaryote is more efficient than in prokaryotes?

Cellular respiration is usually more efficient in eukaryotic cells because they have a organelle, mitochondria, that produce energy (in the form of ATP)
Prokaryotic cells do not have membrane organelles but some can use their cellular membranes to produce ATP, some bacteria even have sections of membrane in-folding to allow the reactions to occur. This usually produces the same amount of energy as mitochondria respiration and requires oxygen.
Prokaryotes that do not require oxygen or are harmed by oxygen usually can ferment sugars. Fermentation produces very little energy compared to respiration. Other bacteria can oxidize inorganic chemicals to acquire energy but this produces little energy.

One of the organelles in the eukaryote releases energy from sugars What is this process called?
Cellular respiration.
What performs cellular respiration to generate ATP?
It take place in mitochondria.In prokaryotes in the plasma
How is cellular respiration?
Pretty efficient, it's what keeps us alive and breathing. Pretty efficient, it's what keeps us alive and breathing.
1.)Why are methods of anaerobic respiration such as fermentation less efficient than aerobic respiration?
Cellular respiration is more efficient than fermentation. Cellular respiration produces approximately 36-38 ATP molecules, while fermentation produces only 2 ATP, which is a significant loss in usable energy.
Is a strawberry plant eukaryotes or prokaryotes?
Eukaryote. Plantae is a kingdom under the domain Eukarya.
Where does aerobic cellular respiration occur in eukaryote?
MITOCHONDRIA!
Where is the process of cellular respiration carried out in prokaryotes?
Aerobic respiration in measosomes.Anerobic respiration in cytoplasm.

Is cellular respiration more or less efficient than fermentation?
Cellular respiration is more efficient than fermentation. Cellular respiration produces approximately 36-38 ATP molecules, while fermentation produces only 2 ATP, which is a significant loss in usable energy.
The terms prokaryotic and eukaryote refer primarily to the presence of a cellular?
The terms prokaryotic and eukaryotic refer primarily to the presence of a cellular nucleus. Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus, and prokaryotes don't.
Why do we do cellular respiration?
Cellular respiration is the process by which cells produce ATP for energy. Also, cellular respiration is much more efficient than fermentation, the process by which single celled organisms. (Cellular respiration produces 18 times more ATP than fermentation) Essentially, without cellular respiration is what keeps the cells in your body functioning.
Why do we do the long process of cellular respiration?
To generate more ATP. That is efficient and more is produced
A brief description about eukaryotes?
Eukaryote, not prokaryotes (which means before kernel, or before a nucleus) because eukaryote are the exact opposite, have nuclei. Examples include multi-cellular (as well as other organisms) organisms such as humans and other mammals.
How is cellular respiration?
Pretty efficient, it's what keeps us alive and breathing. Pretty efficient, it's what keeps us alive and breathing.
Why is cellular respiration consdered to be so much more efficient than glycolysis alone?
Glycolysis alone only nets you two ATP. Cellular respiration will net you an additional 34-36 ATP.
1.)Why are methods of anaerobic respiration such as fermentation less efficient than aerobic respiration?
