When certain molecules are pumped across biological membranes against a concentration gradientvia active transport, ATP is used. In the cells of our bodies, for example, sugars are activelytransported and metabolized within the membrane-enclosed mitochondria. Prokaryotes, incontrast, lack mitochondria but are nonetheless able to metabolize the same sugars. Based on the details provided in this scenario, whiat would be expected to beTRUE?
