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.

uysha [10]

Answer:

C. An approximately three-to-one ratio of black to brown coated mice in F2 is accounted for by the black allele being dominant over the brown allele

Explanation:

Assuming the black genotype is BB and the brown genotype is bb.

At F1:

BB x bb = All Bb (black)

At F2:

Bb x Bb = BB (black), 2Bb (Black), bb (brown)

Th ratio of black to brown is 3:1

961 black : 317 brown is approximately 3:1.

Hence, the correct option is C.

zepelin [54]

The results from the research suggest that a person who experiences auditory hallucinations that are localized in the expressive area of the brain is actually listening to his or her own thoughts. Since the problem is in the expressive area, this shows that the patient is only listening to the ideas his brain is already producing.

Most organisms on earth get energy from the sun to your body. How does energy flow from the sun to your body?

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Energy is transferred from the sun to Earth via electromagnetic waves, or radiation. The heat you feel in your body is the suns energy entering your body from the energy transfers that happen when you move.

Explanation:

Most of the energy that passes through the upper atmosphere and reaches Earth's surface is in two forms, visible and infrared light. The heat you feel in your body results from the energy transfers that happen when you move. When you sweat, your body expends energy to cool itself down. A food chain shows how energy flows from one organism to another. In general, energy flows from the Sun to producers and then to consumers.
