Answer:

Because of the great deal of active transport that occurs here, the <u>proximal convulated tubules</u> of all the nephrons collectively account for about 6% of one's daily resting ATP and caloric consumption.

Explanation:

Proximal convulated tubule is responsible for transport of a very large number of substances mentioned below :

  • Sodium bicarbonate
  • Sodium Chloride
  • Glucose
  • Amino acid
  • Organic solutes
  • K ions are absorbed via paracellular pathway.
  • Water is absorbed passively.

Transporters include :

  • Na/K transporter
  • Na/HCO3 transporter
  • Na/glucose
  • Na/Amina acids

As a large number or transporters are present in the PCT , large amouny of ATP is cleaved here, and about 6% of daily resting ATP and caloric consumption occurs.

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

The correct answer is : C .It will decrease ATP production because fewer protons will be able flow down through ATP synthase.

Explanation:

  • Oxidative Phosphorylation is a process which involves two steps:  
  1. Transport of electrons from the reduced compounds like NADH (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydrogen) and FADH₂ (Flavin adenine dinucleotide dihydrogen) through the electron transport complexes, located in the inner mitochondrial membrane, to oxygen for the generation of water molecules.
  2. Synthesis of ATP or adenosine triphosphate from ADP or adenosine diphosphate and inorganic phosphate by an enzyme called ATP synthase which is located in the inner mitochondrial membrane. This enzyme harnesses energy by carrying protons from the inter-membrane space into the mitochondrial matrix and in the process produces ATP.
  • Oxidative phosphorylation takes place in the mitochondria, especially involving the inter membrane space, inner membrane and mitochondrial matrix
  • During the transport of electrons through the protein complexes (I, II, III, IV) of the electron transport chain a proton gradient is generated across the inner mitochondrial membrane.
  • The proton gradient is such that the concentration of protons is more in the inter-membrane space and less in the matrix of the mitochondria.
  • This proton gradient provides the energy to the ATP synthase for the synthesis of ATP.
  • Dinitrophenol is responsible for making the inner mitochondrial membrane permeable to protons. As a result protons can directly diffuse through the inner mitochondrial membrane from the inter-membrane space into the mitochondrial matrix equalising the concentration of protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane. This causes distortion in the proton gradient.  Hence, protons are no longer available for the ATP synthase to operate and synthesise ATP.

Is DNA synthesized continually during the cell cycle
vagabundo [1.1K]
  <span>No 
DNA is synthesized in the middle part of Interphase, which is usually denoted S in the series G1 - S - G2  </span><span>"There are 3 stages of interphase: G1 in which the cell grows and functions normally. Once it grows too large it enters the synthesis (S) phase. In S phase the cell makes exact copies of its DNA. It is now ready for G2 phase where it makes sure all of its chromosomes and organelles are ready for mitosis."</span>

What is this the definition of?<br><br> Reaction that disassembles polymers and absorbs water.
Monica [59]

Answer:

Hydrolysis reactions use water to breakdown polymers into monomers and is the opposite of dehydration synthesis, which forms water when synthesizing a polymer from monomers. Hydrolysis reactions break bonds and release energy.

The main function of the small intestine is nutrient absorption. Which of the following structural qualities of the intestine in
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option a and b.

Explanation:

The food is digested and absorbed in the small intestine, a long folded tube which lengths about 20 ft or 6m.  

The small intestine increases the surface area for food absorption as they have circular folding as well as the finger-like projections called villi and microvilli in the lumen of the intestine. These villi help in absorption of the nutrients from the intestine.

Thus, option a and b are the correct options.

The ___ biome is characterized by moderate temperatures and high quantities of precipitation.
diamong [38]

Answer:

The temperate rain forest.

Explanation:

Temperate rain forests are similar in structure and precipitation amounts to a tropical rain forest. The difference is in the location and temperature of each. Tropical rain forests are located on and near the equator, and are incredibly warm and humid, with large amounts of precipitation. Temperate rain forests are found north of the Tropic of Cancer and have moderate temperature and humidity levels. The way to remember the difference is to notice that Temperate is a combination of 'moderate' and 'temperature' and can be said to mean "moderate temperature". I hope this is the answer you were looking for!
