Detailed explanation-1: -The given statement is false. Both the prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells can carry out cellular respiration.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cellular respiration occurs both in prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. Prokaryotes can undergo aerobic respiration or anaerobic respiration. Aerobic and anaerobic respiration differ in their yield of ATP molecules.
Detailed explanation-3: -In eukaryotic cells, the majority of the process of cellular respiration except glycolysis occurs in the mitochondria. However, prokaryotic cells do not have membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria so the process of cellular respiration occurs on the inner surface of the cell membrane or in the cytoplasm.
Detailed explanation-4: -In prokaryotes, cellular respiration is carried out in the cytoplasm or within the cell membrane.
Detailed explanation-5: -Cellular respiration occurs in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells, with most reactions taking place in the cytoplasm of prokaryotes and in the mitochondria of eukaryotes.
