Where do prokaryotes carry out most cellular processes

In your cells, cellular respiration happens in a special organelle called the mitochondrion. But as mentioned, prokaryotic organisms don't have organelles. Rather than taking place in the mitochondrion, cellular respiration happens either in the cytoplasm or across the plasma membrane of the cell.

many other transport proteins, often called pumps, move materials against a concentration gradient. active transport drives molecules across a membrane from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration. this process, shown in figure 5.1, uses transport proteins powered by chemi- cal energy.
