If the researchers replaced the bacterial proton pump with a proton pump that was activated only by atp then less ATP would be produced when the light is on because no proton gradient would be available to produce ATP.

<h3>What is proton gradient ?</h3>

Two quinol (4H+4e) oxidations at the Qo site result in the formation of one quinol (2H+2e) at the Qi site, creating a proton gradient (in total six protons are translocated: two protons reduce quinone to quinol and four protons are released from two ubiquinol molecules).

For the ETC to continue functioning, the energy trapped in the electrochemical gradient of protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane must also be released in some manner. ATP is created using the energy in the proton electrochemical gradient.

Chemiosmotic coupling is the process by which ATP synthesis is coupled to the electrochemical gradient of H+ across the inner mitochondrial membrane.

Peter Mitchell, who in 1961 made the initial suggestion, was given the Nobel Prize for his efforts in 1978.

1. List and describe three factors that could possibly affect enzyme activity. 2. Why is it important that cells contain catalas
marta [7]

Answer:

1. Several factors affect the rate at which enzymatic reactions proceed - temperature, pH, enzyme concentration, substrate concentration, and the presence of any inhibitors or activators.

2. It is a very important enzyme in protecting the cell from oxidative damage by reactive oxygen species (ROS). It catalyzes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen.

3. Enzyme activity can be affected by a variety of factors, such as temperature, pH, and concentration. Enzymes work best within specific temperature and pH ranges, and sub-optimal conditions can cause an enzyme to lose its ability to bind to a substrate. ... Extreme pH values can cause enzymes to denature.

4. Enzymes are biocatalysts and because of their remarkable properties, they are extensively used in medical diagnosis. ... They provide insight into the disease process by diagnosis, prognosis and assessment of response therapy.

5. The small intestine is a major site for chemical digestion and absorption of key food components, such as amino acids, peptides, and glucose for energy. There are lots of enzymes released in the small intestine and from the nearby pancreas for digestion.

6. Purified human pancreatic alpha-amylase (alpha-1,4-glucan 4-glucano-hydrolase, EC 3.2. 1.1) was found to be stable over a wide range of pH values (5.0 to 10.5) with an optimal pH for the enzymatic activity of 7.0.

Explanation:

1. Factors Affecting Enzyme Activity

Knowledge of basic enzyme kinetic theory is important in enzyme analysis in order both to understand the basic enzymatic mechanism and to select a method for enzyme analysis. The conditions selected to measure the activity of an enzyme would not be the same as those selected to measure the concentration of its substrate. Several factors affect the rate at which enzymatic reactions proceed - temperature, pH, enzyme concentration, substrate concentration, and the presence of any inhibitors or activators.

2. Catalase is a common enzyme found in nearly all living organisms exposed to oxygen (such as bacteria, plants, and animals). It catalyzes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen. It is a very important enzyme in protecting the cell from oxidative damage by reactive oxygen species (ROS).

4. for clinical applications. Enzymes are the preferred markers in various disease states such as myocardial infarction, jaundice, pancreatitis, cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, etc. They provide insight into the disease process by diagnosis, prognosis and assessment of response therapy.

5. Amylase. Amylase is a digestive enzyme that acts on starch in food, breaking it down into smaller carbohydrate molecules. ... First, salivary glands in your mouth make salivary amylase, which begins the digestive process by breaking down starch when you chew your food, converting it into maltose, a smaller carbohydrate.

6. Purified human pancreatic alpha-amylase (alpha-1,4-glucan 4-glucano-hydrolase, EC 3.2. 1.1) was found to be stable over a wide range of pH values (5.0 to 10.5) with an optimal pH for the enzymatic activity of 7.0.

Which statements correctly describe mutations in gametes and mutations in somatic cells?
ASHA 777 [7]

A mutation is a rare, accidental or induced modification of genetic information (DNA or RNA sequence) in the genome.


The consequences of a mutation vary according to the part of the genome affected. A mutation is said to be hereditary if the mutated genetic sequence is passed on to the next generation.

In multicellular animals, germline mutations can be transmitted to offspring, whereas somatic mutations do.


Somatic mutations do not affect cells intended for reproduction, so they are never hereditary:

* Post-zygotic mutations are the mutations that appear in the egg after fertilization. They are rarer and are expressed as mosaic in the individual concerned (the mutation will be present only in the daughter cells originating from the mutated embryonic cell).

* Mutations can appear throughout life on the DNA of any cell; they are then transmitted to the line of the daughter cells. These can, in some cases, become tumor cells and then form cancer.
