Why does atp production via oxidative phosphorylation require an intact mitochondrial membrane?

Biology

lukranit [14]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Production of ATP via oxidative phosphorylation require an intact mitochondrial membrane because of the creation of an electrical potential.

Explanation:

Oxidative phosphorylation is a method, in which energy is converted into ATP by a sequence of protein complexes located inside the mitochondrial inner membrane. Production of ATP through oxidative phosphorylation requires an intact mitochondrial membrane because a change in electrical charge between both sides of the inner mitochondrial membrane results in the creation of an electrical potential. The protons have accumulated on the exterior of the mitochondria, making it positive (H), while the protons have been lost within, making it negative. On each surface of the membrane, a differential or gradient in chemical concentration has been formed. The cell transmits the energy stored in the decreased NADH and FADH via the electrochemical gradient.

What kind of atoms typically have unstable nuclei?
nikklg [1K]

B & D

Protons and neutrons are energy particles found in the nucleus of atoms.

Explanation:

The forces that hold the protons and neutrons together in the nucleus are called strong nuclear forces. These forces are attractive over short distances and repulsive over long distances. This is why protons that are positively charged are held together in the nucleus  despite their repulsive tendencies. However, as the nucleus gets larger because of the larger number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, the distance with which the string nuclear forces are attractive is surpassed.

The binding energy in the nucleus will, therefore, be surpassed by the repulsive forces of strong nuclear forces over long distances causing the atomic nucleus to lose some neutrons.
