In the electron transport chain, protons are pumped from where to where in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells?

Biology
1 answer:
Papessa [141]2 years ago
8 0

In the electron transport chain, protons are pumped from the <u>mitochondrial matrix to the intermembrane space</u>, and oxygen is reduced to form water.

The energy derived from the transfer of electrons through the electron transport chain is used to pump protons, as a result, an electrochemical gradient is generated, consisting of a proton gradient and a membrane potential.

The energy created by the formation of this gradient is then harnessed to form ATP as the protons travel down their gradient into the matrix through the ATP synthase channel.

The electron transport and ATP production occur simultaneously and are tightly coupled.

What would MOST LIKELY happen to the black swallowtail butterfly if these plants continue to decrease?
Paul [167]

Answer:Limiting factor is a factor which can limit the abundance, distribution of the species in an ecosystem this can be a resource, predator or natural disaster. The black swallowtail butterfly feeds on endangered plant named Candy's dropwort. If the plants continue to decrease the population of black swallowtail butterly will also decrease as decrease in the plant population will act as a limiting factor for the growth of butterfly population.

How are the products of protein hydrolysis by an aminopeptidase used in metabolism?
NNADVOKAT [17]
Aminopeptidases are enzymes that cleave polypeptides, or proteins,at the N terminus, or the amino end.  Protein hydrolysis is breaking down proteins into amino acids by adding water. Aminopeptidases are enzymes that cause protein hydrolysis. Once the protein is broken down into amino acids, the amino acids can be metabolized. Usually the body uses carbohydrates or lipids for metabolism, but in rare cases, such as starvation, proteins can be broken down and used for energy. 
Protein metabolism starts with the enzyme,pepsin, in the stomach and the smaller polypeptides travel to the small intestine where trypsin and chymotrypsin break them down into amino acids. Most of the newly available amino acids are combined to form new proteins. If the body has no need for proteins, they are converted to glucose or ketones and are decomposed. Breaking down amino acids results in nitrogen, which is converted to urine. In starvation, protein is broken down to amino acids and amino acids are broken down to oxaloacetate  acid, pyruvate  and acetyl coA and these intermediates are used in the Kreb cycle to produce ATP.
