What replaces the mitochondria as the site of cellular respiration in prokaryotes?

Because Prokaryotic cells contain no membrane bound organelles - the only thing they can use to create the proton concentrations needed for oxidative phosphorylation (ATP production), and photosynthesis, is the plasma membrane, which isn't as exposed in Prokaryotes as in Eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotes not only have a cell wall protecting their plasma membrane, they also have a "capsule" which provides additional support and separation for the plasma membrane, allowing it to perform this important task of creating ATP.

What is ATP Synthase?

ATP synthase (also known as FoF1-ATP synthase) is a multisubunit integral membrane protein that produce ATP from ADP and Pi using the energy of transmembrane electrochemical potential difference of proton (or sodium ion in some cases). The enzyme is found in bacterial plasma membrane, in thylakoid membrane (chloroplast ATP synthase) and in inner mitochondrial membrane. The main function of the enzyme is ATP production. However, in some cases (especially in bacteria) the enzyme works in the reverse direction, acting as an ATP-driven proton pump that generates the transmembrane electrochemical potential difference of proton. is it the right energy used in a body of matter from movemwent of molecules?


What situations does not represent a transformation of one type of energy to another?

the coupling of ATP hydrolysis to the production of a proton gradient across a membrane by a proton pump


ATP synthase works by means of?

a proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane

What is the difference between double membrane cell organelles and single membrane cell organelles?

The plasma membrane is the phospholipid bilayer that is defines the outer border of the cell. All of the organelles (which are also membrane bounds) are contained within the boundaries of the plasma membrane.

What is plasma hydrogen?

A plasma is a state of matter where one or more electrons of the average atom is missing from an orbital shell, and is free to "roam" through the plasma itself. In the case of hydrogen, this makes it a bare proton most of the time. So it would be a proton + electron gas.


Where does aerobic respiration occur in prokaryotic cells?

What is the function of oxysome?

Function of the oxysome:(i)The 'b' subunit of the F0 part work like proton channel through whichthe protons aretransferred through the membrane. (ii)The part of oxysome participates in ATP synthesis.So the oxysome is termed as ATP-ase or ATP synthetase. .........A student of TDB college....
