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.

Some homeostatic imbalances cause a variable that is normally controlled by negative feedback to be abnormally controlled by pos
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Some deviations from normal homeostasis activate the positive feedback loops to control the conditions which are otherwise regulated by negative feedback mechanisms.

For example, the blood levels of respiratory gases and H+ ions are regulated by a negative feedback system via chemoreceptors. The increased partial pressure of carbon dioxide gas and lowered pH or lowered partial pressure of oxygen in the blood are sense by central and peripheral chemoreceptors which in turn activate the neurons of the dorsal respiratory group (DRG).

The activated DRG triggers an increased in the rate and depth of the breathing to facilitate the inhalation of more oxygen and exhalation of CO2 to restore the normal levels.  

However, hypocapnia inactivates the chemoreceptors and does not allow negative feedback to restore the normal CO2 levels in the blood.  

Under such conditions, the positive feedback loop stimulates the DRG neurons more strongly in response to the increased partial pressure of CO2 above the normal levels than when the partial pressure of oxygen falls below the normal level. These dangerously lowered oxygen levels may also cause fainting.

a reaction that hydrolyzes a phosphodiester bond would cleave a dna molecule between a phosphate group and:
Gnoma [55]

Reactions that hydrolyze the phosphodiester bonds split the DNA molecule between the phosphate groups and the hydroxyl groups of the two sugar groups.

In DNA there is a covalent bond through a phosphate group that connects the hydroxyl group (OH) at the 5' position of the pentose sugar and the hydroxyl group at the 3' position of the pentose sugar of the next nucleotide. This covalent bond is called a phosphodiester bond because chemically the phosphate group is in the diester form.

In other words, the phosphodiester bond connects the sugar in one nucleotide to the sugar in the next nucleotide, so this bond simultaneously connects the two consecutive nucleotides to form a polynucleotide chain. If there is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of covalent bonds that combine nucleotides, what happens is that the phosphodiester link between deoxyribose sugars will break.
