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.

HELP ME PLEASE!!!
Sidana [21]

Answer:

The way I would separate the shell fragments from the sand would be by using a filter. As shell fragments are larger than sand. So I would use a filter with 2 mm spaces to separate them. Now, for the sand separation from the water, I would heat the water so it would evaporate and connect a tube to another recipient making the sand stay in the first tube and the water vapor cools in the tube to precipitate in the other recipient. Three mixtures I have prepared at home are chocolate milk, coffee and cream, and lemon juice and tea.

Explanation:

To understand this answer we have to remember a few things. First, mixtures always have solute and solvent. The solvent is the most liquid component of the mixture and it can incorporate the more solid element in its composition to carry it. Now, there are several methods to separate them, barrier methods like filters are the first and more basic ones, as they are aimed to separated big solutes. While evaporation can be used to separate two very liquid elements. Like distillation of alcohol to separate the most concentrated oil from the alcohol.
