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.

The correct sequence for the phases of the human cell cycle, starting with a newly divided cell, is?
just olya [345]

Starting with a newly divided cell, the correct sequence for the human cell cycle phases are interphase followed by mitosis and then cytokinesis.

Interphase of the cell cycle does not involve any cell division. It is a period of growth and replication of the nuclear DNA. The cell prepares for the division in this stage. Interphase is further divided into the G1, S and G2 phases. Mitosis is the next phase of the cell cycle which involves the division of the cell in order to form daughter cells. Mitosis is further divided into the prophase, metaphase, anaphase and the telophase. Cytokinesis marks the end of the mitosis and this is where the cell actually separates to produce two daughter cells.

Explain how scientific discoveries in biotechnology have improved people's lives
aksik [14]

Aspects such as genetic engineering have allowed for engineering of transgenic organisms such as bacteria to produce bioproducts such as insulin to addresses medical disorders such as diabetes.  Another is the innovation of whole-genome sequencing that allows researchers to determine genetic predisposition of a particular person to particular diseases.
