Solution

Prokaryote:

  1. An organism with cells without nuclei and organelles.
  2. These are small, mainly single cells with a simple cell structure.

Electron transport system:

  1. An electron transport system is composed of a range of membrane-associated protein complexes and related mobile electron carriers.
  2. These electron transfers occur in the internal part of the cell membrane of prokaryotes cells.
  3. ETS takes place in a plasma membrane which is a lipid bilayer that encloses a prokaryotic cell cytoplasm.
  4. The plasma membrane also functions as a selective porous membrane.
