the stroma, consisting of set of flat disc like sacs called thylakoid. The thylakoid membrane encloses a fluid filled lumen or space, which is separated by thylakoid membrane with stroma. The chlorophyll is embedded in the thylakoid membrane. Chlorophyll absorbs light and converts it into chemical energy of ATP and NADPH; the products which synthesize carbohydrate in the stroma of chloroplast.

But photosynthetic prokaryotes lack chloroplast all together in their cells. So, for carbohydrate synthesizing, they do have unstacked photosynthetic membranes, which work like thylakoid.

Are prokaryotes simple?

Prokaryotes are the simplest organisms. They are single celled without organelles like a nucleus or mitochondria.


What does the organelle need in order to produce ATP?

The site for aerobic cellular respiration - where the majority of ATP is produced - is the mitochondria.However, many organisms (prokaryotes) do not have mitochondria - and it is still possible to produce ATP for the cell's energy needs without them. So mitochondria are not exactly 'required', it just a much less efficient process without them.


How does mitochondria benefit us?

Mitochondria benefits us by breaking down the sugar to release energy. Without mitochondria, there won't be ATP.


Does everyone have mitochondria?

Yes. Mitochondria are essential to eukaryotic cells. Mitochondria produce ATP from organic compounds (primarily carbohydrates, but also lipids and proteins) and ATP is the cell's primary source of energy. A person could not survive without mitochondria.


How does lack of mitochondria affect ATP?

Cellular respiration is the process where animals can make energy or ATP. Pyruvates( product of the first step of cellular respiration) gets transferred to the mitochondria. If there are less mitochondria, less pyruvates will be made which means less ATP.


Which species does not have mitochondria?

Mitochondria are only found in eukaryotes.They are not in prokaryotes.


What are advantages to having mitochondrial power production?

Mitochondria provide ATP for the cell. ATP is used for mostly all of cellular processes. Per glucose, mitochondria can produce roughly 36 ATP per glucose molecule that is broken down. Cells without mitochondria just produce 2 ATP per glucose. As you can see, there is a huge advantage in having mitochondria, as we get 18x more ATP per glucose through mitochondria.


How mitochondria are related to ATP?

Mitochondria are the organelles that make ATP for the cell.


What is the theoretical ATP yield of aerobic respiration?

The theoretical ATP yield of aerobic respiration is 36-38 ATP molecules per glucose molecule. This occurs through a series of metabolic pathways such as glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation in the mitochondria.


What organelle generates ATP?

The organelle that generates ATP is the mitochondria. Mitochondria are often referred to as the powerhouse of the cell because they produce ATP through the process of cellular respiration.


What organelles uses energy from ATP?

Mitochondria is the organelle that uses energy from organic compounds like pyruvate to make ATP, or adenosine triphosphate. Mitochondria is also where electron transport occurs.


Which organelles contain functioning ATP synthetase complexes in their membranes?

The mitochondria and chloroplasts are organelles that contain functioning ATP synthetase complexes in their membranes. These complexes are responsible for producing ATP through oxidative phosphorylation in the mitochondria and photophosphorylation in the chloroplasts.
