A __________________ allows hydrogen ions to flow across the inner mitochondrial membrane.

The name of the embedded protein that provides a channel for the hydrogen ions to pass through the membrane is ATP synthase.

ATP synthase is a protein that catalyzes the formation of the energy storage molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP) using adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate (Pi). It is classified under ligases as it changes ADP by the formation of P-O bond (phosphodiester bond). ATP synthase is a molecular machine.

The overall reaction catalyzed by ATP synthase is:

ADP + Pi + 2H+(out)    ⇌      ATP + H2O + 2H+(in)

The formation of ATP from ADP and Pi is energetically unfavorable and would normally proceed in the reverse direction. In order to drive this reaction forward, ATP synthase couples ATP synthesis during cellular respiration to an electrochemical gradient created by the difference in proton (H+) concentration across the inner mitochondrial membrane in eukaryotes or the plasma membrane in bacteria. During photosynthesis in plants, ATP is synthesized by ATP synthase using a proton gradient created in the thylakoid lumen through the thylakoid membrane and into the chloroplast stroma.

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

0.78

Explanation:

Fitness measures the probability of survival and reproduction of a particular phenotype or genotype in a population.

Relative fitness measures how fit one genotype or phenotype is with respect to the most fit genotype or phenotype in a popualtion. It is calculated as = survival rate of that group / maximum survival rate observed in that population

Here,

Total number of yellow birds = 263

Yellows birds that survived = 150

Survival rate of yellow birds = 150/263 = 0.57

Total number of grey birds = 413

Grey birds that survived = 303

Survival rate of grey birds = 303/413 = 0.73

Grey birds have more survival rate than yellow birds so their survival rate is maximum in the population.

Fitness of yellow phenotype relative to grey phenotype = survival rate of yellow birds / survival rate of grey birds

= 0.57 / 0.73

= 0.78

Hence, fitness of the yellow phenotype relative to the grey one is 0.78.
