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

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.

Hope this helps :)

∙ 11y agoProkaryotes 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.

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.
Is cell division a prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell?
Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells divide; eukaryotic cells through mitosis, prokaryotic cells through binary fission.
List prokaryotic cells eukaryotic cells and viruses in order of increasing complexity?
viruses, prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells
What are the primary differences between prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells?
The main primary difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells is that the prokaryotic cells don't contain a nucleus. The eukaryotic cells are also larger than the prokaryotic cells.
Looking at a cell under a microscope you note that it is a prokarote?
- prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus and eukaryotic cells do. - prokaryotic cells lack some organelles and eukaryotic cells do not. - prokaryotic cells are not found in humans and eukaryotic cells are. - prokaryotic cells are always unicellular and eukaryotic cells are often multicellular. - prokaryotic cells reproduce/divide by binary fission and eukaryotic cells reproduce/divide by mitosis/meiosis

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.
What are the two major types of cells?
prokaryotic and eukaryotic
Do prokaryotic cells contain eukaryotic organisms?
No, but eukaryotic cells contain a descendant of a prokaryotic organism.
Is cell division a prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell?
Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells divide; eukaryotic cells through mitosis, prokaryotic cells through binary fission.
List prokaryotic cells eukaryotic cells and viruses in order of increasing complexity?
viruses, prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells
Does prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells contains plasma membrane?
Both eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells have a plasma membrane.
What are the primary differences between prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells?
The main primary difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells is that the prokaryotic cells don't contain a nucleus. The eukaryotic cells are also larger than the prokaryotic cells.
Do people have prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells?
The cells found in the human body are eukaryotic cells. Organisms that have eukaryotic cells are usually multicellular like humans. Organisms that have prokaryotic cells are usually unicelluar, like bacteria.
Is the ribosome eukaryotic?
The terms eukaryotic and prokaryotic only apply to cells - ribosomes themselves aren't cells. Ribosomes are parts of cells, which can be either prokaryotic or eukaryotic.
