Solution

Prokaryotes:

  1. Prokaryotes are single-cell primitive organisms that acquire energy by performing chemical reactions inside cells.
  2. Glycolysis divides the glucose molecule in half and releases a small amount of energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate).
  3. Prokaryotes lack mitochondria in their cell structure.
  4. Prokaryotes synthesize most ATP on the surface of their cell membrane.
