A. The sugar-digesting enzymes in eukaryotic cells, such as sucrase, are not the same sugar-digesting enzymes found in prokaryotic cells.
B. Overall, prokaryotes will gain more ATP per sugar molecule metabolized than will eukaryotes.
C. Prokaryotes and eukaryotes should have the same metabolic efficiency when digesting the same sugars, assuming their enzymes are the same.
D. Sugar metabolism in prokaryotes is exergonic, whereas in eukaryotes it is endergonic.
