Why do prokaryotic cells produce more ATP per mocule than eukaryotic cells?

Answer 1

Because Eukaryotic cells need to transfer the NADH produced from glycolysis to the mitochondria and in order to do so, 2 ATP must be used to transfer the electron carriers to the mitochondrial matrix. hope that helps.

Answer 2

They don't, prokaryotes divide faster because they are smaller and simpler cells, so it doesn't take as ling to duplicate the chromosome as it would in eukaryotic cells.

Hope this helps :)

Answer 3

Prokaryotic cells produce more ATP per molecule during cellular respiration because they have a higher surface area-to-volume ratio, allowing for a more efficient exchange of substances. They also lack membrane-bound organelles, leading to a more direct routing of electrons during the electron transport chain, resulting in a higher yield of ATP production.

Answer 4

2 ATP is lost from the transition from oxidation of pyruvate to the Krebs cycle.

Answer 5

Prokaryotes produces ATP but not by the mitochondria like eukaryotes. Prokaryotes produce energy through glycolysis in the cytosol, and the electron transport chain also in the cytosol.

Answer 6

Short Answer: The amount of chromosomal material needed to be replicated is far less.

Answer 7

because that is how it suppost to
