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

Biology
1 answer:
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.

A car traveling at 60 mph has how much more energy than a car going at 20 mph? K.E. increases by a factor of there is no increas
inn [45]

Answer:

Assuming that the masses of the cars are the same

9 times

Explanation:

Kinetic energy can be computed using the formula:

KE = \dfrac{mv^{2}}{2}

Where:

KE = Kinetic energy

m = mass

v = velocity

As you can see in your problem, the velocity of the the first car mentioned is 3 times faster.

Looking at the the formula, velocity is raised to two (2). So if we put it in terms of equations this is how it will look:

Let v = velocity of the slower car

Car 1: velocity = (3v)

KE=\dfrac{mv^{2}}{2}

KE=\dfrac{(m)(3v)^{2}}{2}

KE=\dfrac{(m)9v^{2}}{2}

The increase is by a factor of 9.

Answer:

Root hair cell cytoplasm  // Soil water

Explanation:

Water moves through the xylem vessels in a continuous transpiration stream:

root → stem → leaf

Transpiration produces a tension or ‘pull’ on the water in the xylem vessels by the leaves. Water molecules are cohesive so water is pulled up through the plant.

The transpiration stream has several functions. These include:

transporting mineral ions

providing water to keep cells turgid in order to support the plant

providing water to leaf cells for photosynthesis

keeping the leaves cool by evaporation

Root hair cells

The root hairs are where most water absorption happens. They are long and thin so they can penetrate between soil particles, and they have a large surface area for absorption of water.

Water passes from the soil water to the root hair cell’s cytoplasm by osmosis. This happens because the soil water has a higher water potential than the root hair cell cytoplasm:

Solution Water potential Concentration of dissolved solutes

Soil water High Low

Root hair cell cytoplasm Low High

Osmosis causes water to pass into the root hair cells, through the root cortex and into the xylem vessels
