B) In the process of the citric cycle that occurs in the mitochondrial matrix, electrons from this chemical pathways move from one protein complex to another and are ultimately accepted by oxygen molecule in the formation a water molecule. Concomitantly, protons are transported to the intermembrane space. Accumulation of H+ ions in the mitochondrial membrane creates an electromotive force that is harnessed by ATP synthase to enable the phosphorylation of an ADP to ATP.


A)     A leaky membrane, therefore, would interfere with the accumulation of protons in the intermembrane space. This will reduce the electromotive force that is harness by the ATP synthase to produce ATP by phosphorylation of ADP. Consequently, this defective mitochondria will produce less ATPs than a healthy mitochondria.

Answer: B. Water breaks down into oxygen molecules for respiration.  


Water is the required for photosynthesis, a process by which plants (terrestrial and aquatic) makes their food by utilizing water as a reactant to produce oxygen and glucose as product. The glucose act as a source of energy for conducting various metabolic processes in plants but oxygen is released in the air.

6CO_2\ \ \ \ +6H_2O\rightarrow\ C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2\\carbon\ \ \ \ water\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ glucose\ \ \ \ \ \ \ oxygen\\ dioxide

This oxygen is necessary for terrestrial and aquatic animals for respiration. Therefore, water breaks down into oxygen by the process of photosynthesis, hence water plays important role in respiration in living beings.

A cell with a defective p53 gene is likely to (1 point)
Nastasia [14]

The right answer is stop responding to growth regulators.

The p53 protein is a transcription factor that plays an important role in cancer. Discovered in 1979, it binds to DNA and promotes the expression of genes that must repair cellular damage. The p53 protein controls the cell cycle and interacts with dozens of genes.
