Why do astronauts eat freeze dried food I space

Biology
2 answers:
zmey [24]3 years ago

Food was cooked, quickly frozen, and then dehydrated in a special vacuum chamber. Freeze-dried food didn't need to be refrigerated and would last a long time. To make most freeze-dried foods, astronauts squeeze water into the food packages and then eat the food after it absorbs the water.

The astronauts  had to eat dried food because they didn't know when their food was going to spoil or when they would get more. Its like living of a weeks worth of  groceries for a few months. It took the station a long time to send food because of all the light years ( how many years it takes light to go through space) it takes to get to the space ship with hungry astronauts.

If the atp synthase for an organism contains 15 c subunits, how many protons must flow through atp synthase per each new atp tha
anastassius [24]

Each time a new ATP is created, ATP synthase must process 5 protons.

<h3>Where is ATP synthase found and what does it do?</h3>
  • ADP and phosphate are converted into ATP by the mitochondrial enzyme ATP synthase, which is located in the inner membrane.
  • Protons are transported over a gradient created by electron transfer from the chemically positive to the negative side of the proton, which drives the flux of protons.
<h3>How does photosynthesis's ATP synthase function?</h3>
  • The light-driven production of ATP is catalyzed by the chloroplast ATP synthase, which is activated in the light and deactivated in the dark by redox-modulation via the thioredoxin system.
  • This down-regulation is thought to be crucial for minimizing wasted ATP hydrolysis at night.
<h3>What makes ATP synthase so crucial?</h3>

All cellular functions are powered by ATP, which is constantly used by cells and required for production. About 100 ATP molecules can be produced by each ATP synthase every second.

What statement best describes an independent variable?
prisoha [69]
<span>Answer : D. The factor that's changed by the experimenter and impacts the dependent variable.<span>

</span><span>An independent variable is a variable in which you can manipulate or control while the dependent variable depends on the independent variable. An example of an independent variable is the running while the dependent variable is your pulse rate. The pulse rate depends on how fast and how long is the distance of your run. The pulse rate maybe higher and faster if you’ve run quite long and will be close to stable if you only run for a short distance and slow speed.</span></span>

Explanation:

When a cell or organ or gland produce and secretes substance in to extracellular space,this biochemical process is called as secretion.

The secretory products may be hormone, enzymes etc.

This process facilitates the movement of material from one place to another place.
