Question

4. Prokaryotic organisms do not have membrane-bound organelles. However, they are able to make ATP and survive. a. Assuming that bacteria cannot use their membranes to make ATP, which process can they still use in order to generate ATP? (2 points) b. Why can they perform this process even though they lack membrane-bound organelles? (2 points)

Answer 1

Answer with explanation is as follows :-

4. Prokaryotie organisms do not have membrane bound organelles. However, they are able to mode ATP and survive. @ Assuming that bacteria cannot use their membranes. to make "ATP which process can they still use in order to generate ATP ? Ans> Bacteria can generate enirgy through glyco- lysis and some bacteria can use light to generate a proton gradient, and there forse ATP.; Glucose] [geicolysis & 2ATP I Pyruvate Present Krebs cycle] 1. fermentation .... election transport chain 36 ATP] . Glycolysis is the first step to breaking down glucose to obtain energy through cellular respiration in bacteria.

2ATP onolecule need in glycolysis process to obtain Pyruvate presence of o krebs cycle will start and then it goes to election foransport- chain ultimately up to 36 ATP molecule will produce, This set of reactions occur in the cytoplasm of bacteria 6 why E they can they perform this process even though lack membrane bound organelles ? Ausy Bacteria , lack membrane bound organelles: Glycolysis is the first step in the breakdown of glucose to extract energy (ATP), for cellular respiration, blucose is the source of all energy - used by cells. . Glycolysis is the cellular metabolic Pathway in which Pyruvic acid and ATP generate by from simple sugar glucose. up to 36 ATP molecule will. Produce by glyeslysis Process.
