Very low concentrations of detergent make membranes leaky to small molecules and ions without damaging proteins. In isolated mit

ochondria exposed to detergent, the molecules of the electron transport chain and of ATP synthase remain intact. Do you expect ATP synthesis to continue in the presence of low concentrations of detergent?A. Yes, because all enzymes and electron carriers are functionalB. No, because with a leaky membrane, the proton gradient cannot be maintainedC. No, because leaky membranes inhibit glycolysisD. No, because leaky membranes do not allow NADH and FADH2 to donate their electrons to the electron transport chain

No, because with a leaky membrane, the proton gradient cannot be maintained

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

The cell membrane is composed of a protein lipid bilayer. The detergent is very efficient to clean out portions of lipid from the protein part, thus disrupting the cell membrane. In presence of low concentration of detergent, the small portions of lipid are taken out, leaving the cell membrane structure intact, but with smaller pores which can lead to leakage of several smaller substances from inside.

So these leaky membranes don't allow the gradient of proton to build up. Thus ATP cannot be produced. So the cell cannot respire with detergent present.

What are some important facts about Alveoli that everybody should know?
xeze [42]
Alveoli are part of the reparation system found in the lungs. They are covered in capillaries. In Alveoli, oxygen diffuses from the air into the blood vessels surrounding the alveoli and carbon dioxide from the body diffuses from blood into the alveoli’s air spaces. Alveoli clump together and form sacs.

What are the four main stages of Interphase?
Elan Coil [88]
The four main stages of Interphase are Gap 0, Gap 1, S phase and Gap 2. Interphase appears to be a resting stage in cell divisions but actually many activities or processes happens at this phase. Interphase generally lasts at least 12 to 24 hours in mammalian tissue.

lisov135 [29]
It is Xylem of the plants that help transport the water and other nutrients from the roots up through the plant. The phloem basically transport food synthesised by the plant but not the water.
