Based only on the change in glucose oxidation, what should happen to the concentration of atp in the cells exposed to dnp?

ATP concentration should be greater in cells treated with DNP because more oxidation of glucose is correlated with increased ATP synthesis.

Dinitrophenol (DNP) is a chemical that acts as an uncoupling agent, making the inner mitochondrial membrane leaky to protons.

More glucose gets broken down in DNP-treated cells. This means that the rate of glucose oxidation increases in the presence of DNP. Dinitrophenol disrupts the H+ gradient reducing ATP synthesis. Under these conditions, much of our food that we eat could not be used for ATP synthesis are we lose weight.

DNP allows hydrogen protons to cross the membrane freely. Therefore there is no true proton gradient and while ATP production can still occur (some hydrogens can still go through ATP synthase), it will be at a much lower rate and much less efficient.

To calibrate the x-axis for 14C decay, you have to convert half-lives to number of years. Recall that 14C has a single half-life
hjlf

Answer:

d. 28,650 years

Explanation:

Since 14C has a single half-life of 5,730 years

The number of years that is going to make up 5 half-lives for 14C will be;

5,730 years × 5 = 28,650 years

nirvana33 [79]

Answer: False

Explanation: The COMPLEMENT SYSTEM consists of proteins synthesized in the liver. They are activated by inespecific harmful substance (antigen) and begins a cascade of proteins that finally forms an attack complex against bacteria.

The COMPLEMENT is part of the INNATE IMMUNITY, because it is an inherent response, something all humans born with, and it is part of the first defense barrier against any antigen. Part of the innate immunity are too: natural killer cells, neutrophils, monocytes, dendritic cells and macrophages.

On the other hand, the ADAPTATIVE IMMUNITY, is the response that the body develops after being exposed to an antigen before. It is like something that the body recognizes, and then "learns" how to act against it. Part of the adaptative immunity are: lymphocyte T and B, and the antibodies (substances called Immunoglobulins). The immunoglobulins (Ig) are glycoproteins present in the blood.

Much of the regulation of gluconeogenesis is a result of the inhibition of ________. Much of the regulation of gluconeogenesis i
Monica [59]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option- Glycolysis.

Explanation:

Gluconeogenesis is a metabolic pathway which synthesizes glucose from non-sugar precursors. This pathway is activated in the low concentration of glucose due to less intake or completely absent to conserve energy.

This pathway is somewhat the reverse of the glycolysis when excess energy is present as a result of glycolysis, gluconeogenesis is inhibited and when no energy is present, gluconeogenesis is activated.

Thus, option- glycolysis is the correct answer.
