Answer:

Heart disease is prevalent in the United States because... well, we consume a lot of sodium and fat. If you look at the stats, we are the third country with the most obese residents, with a whopping percentage of 36.20% people in the US tipping the scales. Also, people smoke a lot. Not just adults, but teenagers. Because of this, youngsters tend to also get heart disease too, despite the small age. According to cdc.gov, a family history of heart disease increases the rates, especially if one of your relatives got it under the age of 50. Due to the smoking rates at a young age, those diseases tend to transfer and increase the rates of the future US citizens.

Heart disease can affect a lot of organs, but listing them would be a pain. Here are the highlights: The heart and the lungs are intimately connected. This means that having heart disease may lead to having trouble breathing. You may have chest pains, and particularly in woman, it may affect the digestive system and cause stomach pain when eating.

Answer:

Carbon monoxide and antimycin are classified as electron transport inhibitors, FCCP as uncoupling agent, oligomycin as ATP synthase inhibitors, and bongkrekic acid as transport inhibitor.

Explanation:

The electron transport inhibitors refers to the substances, which get combine with distinct constituents of the ETC and prevent the function of the carrier. These substances binds with the carrier and prevent its transformation, which eventually results in halting of the process. The most commonly known electron transport inhibitors are rotenone, carbon monoxide, antimycin, etc.

A molecule that prevents oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria and prokaryotes, or photo-phosphorylation in cyanobacteria and chloroplasts by inhibiting the production of ATP is known as ATP synthase inhibitors. The most commonly known ATP synthase inhibitor is oligomycin.

Similarly to oligomycin, FCCP or trifluorocarbonylcyanide phenylhydrazone is a potent uncoupler or uncoupling agent that prevents the synthesis of ATP by enhancing membrane proton permeability.

Bongkrekic acid refers to a highly toxic transport inhibitor that prevents the ADP/ATP translocase by combining with the inward facing site of ATP-ADP translocase.
