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.

What process occurs in prokaryotes but not in eukaryotes?
Naddika [18.5K]

Explanation:

In the given question, the options are not provided in the question and neither they are found anywhere therefore based on the previous knowledge this can be answered.

Since both the prokaryotes and eukaryotes are living therefore they perform the metabolism or chemical reactions in the form of process.

Both eukaryotes and prokaryotes perform almost similar process like the cellular respiration, photosynthesis by green colored organisms, the Central dogma related process like the replication, transcription and translation.

The central dogma related processes differ in these process only in terms of the site they are performed and a few modifications which are characteristics of the eukaryotic cells.

In prokaryotes, the transcription and translation are coupled and takes place in the cytosol whereas in eukaryotes transcription in the nucleus and translation in the cytosol.

Also in eukaryotes, modifications like the splicing, alternative splicing, capping and tailing are observed which are not observed in the prokaryotes.

Which of the following best describes an advantage of cloning?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

The correct answer would be "Can prevent genetic diseases".

Cloning refers to the process of making an identical copy of organism, cell or DNA fragments.

One of the applications of cloning is eradication or prevention of genetic diseases.

It is done by isolating the correct or functional gene and make copies of it in in-vitro conditions.

The gene or DNA fragment is then inserted back into the cell.

With advancement in cloning process and understanding of stem cells, cloning process also favors tissues and organ harvesting which also help in reducing diseases.

What are the relative ages of volcanoes in a chain with a hotspot at one end?<br> Explain
seraphim [82]

Answer:

Mantle plumes that form hotspots are thought to be relatively stationary whereas the overlying tectonic plates typically are not. Thus, as a plate moves over the location of a plume eruption, it carries successively older volcanoes with it.
