Based on the nature of proton gradient, (A) is false, but (R) is true.

<h3>What is a proton gradient?</h3>

A proton gradient is a gradient that exists due to difference in proton concentration between the inner and outer mitochondrial matrix.

An assertion is a statement or claim stating a given position.

  • Assertion (A): A proton gradient cannot be established in the mitochondria.
  • Reason (R): Hydrogen molecules are pumped out of an internal space (the matrix) in the mitochondria.

The assertion, A, is false because a proton gradient is established in the mitochondria due to the function of the proton pump which pumps out protons from the inner mitochondrial matrix to the outer membrane.

The reason, R is true as hydrogen molecules are pumped out of an internal space (the matrix) in the mitochondria by the proton pump.

Therefore, (A) is false, but (R) is true.

Caitlyn has a supracondylar distal humerus fracture, a true surgical emergency. besides the humerus, what other bones articulate
lara31 [8.8K]
The elbow (or olecranon joint) is the part of the upper limb between the arm and forearm. This articulation includes the region of the "elbow fold" (or ulnar fossa). It is a synovial joint complex of the upper human limb connecting the arm to the forearm. He thus unites three bones between them: the radius, the ulna and the humerus.

<span>The ulna is a long bone of the forearm, located at its inner side while the radius, the second bone of the forearm, is located at the level of the outer part (the same side of the thumb)</span>

What is not a feature of rbc morphology?
kotegsom [21]

The given question is incomplete as options are not provided, however the options are as follows:

A. a large surface area-to-volume ratio

B. ability to form stacks known as rouleaux

C. a convex shape allowing for more efficient transport of oxygen

D. ability to bend and flex when entering capillaries

Answer:

The correct answer is - option C.

Explanation:

RBC cells are biconcave in the shape it is form shape of dub bell in general. These cells are small, round. The biconcave shape of the blood cells helps in the flow of the blood easily and these cells have no nucleus like other cells to have high amount of hemoglobin that is a pigment that carry oxygen and other gases for easy gaseous exchange.

Due to their flexible biconcave shape they can bend and flex accordingly during entering capillaries. The shape of the RBC helps in making stacks and large surface to area ratio.

Thus, the correct answer is - option C.
