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.

What is the difference between something eukaryotic and something prokaryotic?

There are quite a few differences between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus, while eukaryotic cells do. Prokaryotic cells are not found in humans while eukaryotic cells are. Prokaryotic cells are primitive while eukaryotic cells are much more evolved.

How are prokaryotic and eukaryotic alike and diffrent?

Prokaryotic cells have no nuclei and eukaryotic cells have a true nuclei. prokaryotic DNA is circular where eukaryotic DNA is linear.


Which Are Bigger Prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells?

Eukaryotic cells are generally larger than prokaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells have a more complex structure with membrane-bound organelles like the nucleus, while prokaryotic cells lack these organelles. This allows eukaryotic cells to grow larger in size.


Do prokaryotic cells contain eukaryotic organisms?

No, but eukaryotic cells contain a descendant of a prokaryotic organism.

The plasma membrane of cells is found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.


The differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic aerobic respiration?

In prokaryotic cells, aerobic respiration occurs in the cytoplasm and cell membrane, while in eukaryotic cells, it occurs in the mitochondria. Eukaryotic cells produce significantly more ATP through aerobic respiration compared to prokaryotic cells. Additionally, eukaryotic cells have specialized organelles and complex processes that enhance aerobic respiration efficiency.
