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

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.

monitta
The answer is hypernatremia. Common early symptoms attributed to this condition include a strong feeling of thirst, weakness, nausea, and loss of appetite. Normal serum sodium levels should range between 135 – 145 mmol/L. Hyperaldosteronism (increased production of aldosterone) may be the underlying cause of the condition.
