Which region of the mitochondria has the highest concentration of h+?

Biology
1 answer:
storchak [24]3 years ago
4 0
The region of the mitochondria with the highest level of hydrogen ion is the INTERMEMBRANE SPACE.
The mitochondria is made up of many parts, such as the outer membrane, the inner membrane, the intermembrane space, the cristae and the matrix. The high concentration of hydrogen ion in the intermembrane space is used to power ATP synthase.

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

<h2>C. placing carrier proteins in the membrane.</h2>

Explanation:

If there is no barrier preventing molecules from moving molecules, then there will be large movement of molecules  from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. This passive process is known as diffusion. The phospholipid bilayer of a cell's membrane works as a barrier to large molecules, ions, and most hydrophilic molecules. Whereas small hydrophobic molecules can pass freely through the phospholipid bilayer, other molecules and ions are transported across the cell membrane with the help of transport proteins. Some transport proteins, allowing hydrophilic molecules and ions to passively move through them and across the cell membrane.

Examples: carrier proteins and channel proteins.

Placing carrier proteins in the cell membrane will allow the molecule to reach equal concentrations on the both the sides of the membrane and maintain that way over long time. In contrast, transport proteins known as pumps will use cellular energy, usually in the form of ATP, to transport molecules.

Placing equal numbers of intracellularly directed and extracellularly directed pumps would also equalize the concentrations of a molecule long over time. Pumps are to transport molecules against their concentration gradient, such as the sodium-potassium pump continuously moves sodium ions out of a cell.  

Through the use of carrier proteins, there is equalization of  concentrations of a hydrophilic molecule. This equalize the numbers of molecules on the inside and outside of the cell, but the pumps would continue moving the molecule inward, eventually resulting in more molecules inside of the cell than out.

Where does the light and thermal energy given off when burns food come from?
yawa3891 [41]

Answer: B

Explanation: Because Light and thermal are two different things of heat and if one of the cores of heat gets any cooler than it is than it may burn out and there wwill no longer be heat so the food brin come in at the middle (Core) of the heat and just like a microwave it had different heats but its core of the heat stays the excact same
