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

Biology
1 answer:
yuradex [85]2 years ago
7 0

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.

When heat is added to a solid, its particles move _______

A. faster

B. slower

C. closer together

<em>D. the same speed</em>

<h2>(っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ Answer ♥</h2>

A. (I THINK-)

<h2>Explanation</h2>

When heat is added to an object, the molecules vibrate faster. As they go faster, there is more space in between the molecules.

The earth is sometimes described as a giant magnet. True or false?
dybincka [34]
True. The crust of the Earth has some permanent magnetization, and the Earth's core generates its own magnetic field, sustaining the main part of the field we measure at the surface. So we could say that the Earth is, therefore, a "magnet."

Cells with a full set of chromosomes are referred to as diploid or 2n, whereas cells with half the chromosomes are haploid or n.
Papessa [141]

Answer:

  • Diploid → Prophase, metaphase, and anaphase
  • Haploid → Telophase

Explanation:

During prophase I,  chromosomes get condensed. Each of the chromosomes gets in pair with its homologous one. They do so to make the crossing-over possible, a stage where they interchange their parts → 2n

During metaphase I, each of the homologous pairs is driven to the equatorial plane, where they randomly line up → 2n

During anaphase I, occurs the independent separation of homologous chromosomes that migrate to opposite poles of the cell. This separation generates different chromosomal combinations in the daughter cells. There are two alternatives per homologous pair → 2n  

In telophase I, half of the chromosomes are already in one of the poles, while the other half is on the other pole. Each group of chromosomes has now half the number of the original cell. The nuclear membrane forms again in each pole → n

Finally, occurs cytokinesis, which involves the invagination of the cell membrane and cytoplasmic division.

The two new cells are ready for meiosis II.

What elements are rearranged to make glucose in plants?
Deffense [45]
GLUCOSE IS CONVERTED INTO CELLULOSE FOR MAKING CELL WALLS. GLUCOSE IS COMBINED WITH NITRATES (COLLECTED FROM THE SOIL) TO MAKE AMINO ACIDS, WHICH ARE THEN MADE INTO PROTEINS. GLUCOSE IS TURNED INTO LIPIDS FOR STORING IN SEEDS.

Decomposers are important because they​
eimsori [14]

Answer:

Decomposers and scavengers break down dead plants and animals. They also break down the waste of other organisms. Decomposers are very important for any ecosystem because if they weren't in the ecosystem, the plants would not get essential nutrients, and dead matter and waste would pile up.
