Assertion (A): A proton gradient cannot be established in the mitochondria.

Biology
1 answer:
mixas84 [53]2 years ago
5 0

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.

Which statement is true about atoms that are more stable?
Svetlanka [38]
The stability of atoms depends on whether or not their outer-most shell is filled with electrons.  If the outer shell is filled, the atom is stable.  Atoms with unfilled outer shells are unstable, and will usually form chemical bonds with other atoms to achieve stability.

Three different alleles (c1, c2, and c3) at the c locus exist in a hypothetical population of juniper trees. If the frequency of
prisoha [69]

Answer:

d

Explanation:

When considering the frequency of the potential alleles of a gene in a population, the total must add up to 1. Think of it like percentages. an allele frequency of 0.3 means 30% of the population carry it (out of a possible 100%).

We know that the frequency of c1 is 0.3. Lets take each option and see if it can be true

a) cannot be less than 0.3.  - false. It <em>could </em>be less than 0.3. For example, it could be 0.1, meaning the frequency of allele c3 would be 0.6 (because 0.3 + 0.1 + 0.6 = 1)

b) cannot be greater than 0.3. - false. It <em>could </em>be greater than 0.3. For example, it could be 0.5, meaning the frequency of allele c3 would have to be 0.2 (because 0.3 + 0.5 + 0.2 = 1)

c) is 0.7.  - false. It <em>can't </em>be 0.7, because that would mean that the frequency of c3 is 0. (0.7 + 0.3 = 1)

d) cannot be greater than 0.7. - true. It <em>cannot </em>be greater than 0.7, because  that would mean that the frequency of c3 is 0. (0.7 + 0.3 = 1)
