8. You have discovered a novel compound (whoosh), which is an inhibitor of mitochondrial ATP synthesis. You observe that when wh

oosh is added to cells or isolated mitochondria, the NAD /NADH ratio decreases (that is, NADH accumulates). Do you think that whoosh is an uncoupling agent, an inhibitor of respiratory electron transfer, or an inhibitor of the F1Fo ATP synthase

Answer:

Answered below

Explanation:

Whoosh is an inhibitor of the f1fo ATP synthase. ATP synthase is an enzyme that catalyses the synthesis of ATP in the mitochondria through the process of oxidative phosphorylation, by using energy from the transmembrane electrochemical proton gradient along the respiratory chain.

ATP synthase is made up of two main subunits called the F0 and F1. These subunits allow for ATP production through their rotational mechanisms.

Various synthetic and natural inhibitors of ATP synthase have been used to study the structure and mechanism of ATP synthase. These inhibitors cause the decrease in the NAD/NADH ratio. They include; polypeptides, organotin compounds, cationic inhibitors, amino acid modifiers, oligomycin and peptide inhibitors.

An explanation of a natural phenomenon supported by many observations and experiments over time
Ugo [173]

Answer:

Explanation of a natural phenomenon, supported by many observations and experiments over time, corresponds to a scientific theory.

Explanation:

A scientific theory begins with the observation of a natural phenomenon and the formulation of a hypothesis that explains its existence, which must be proven through observation and experimentation.

The approach of a theory follows the scientific laws and must be established on the basis of rigorous experimentation and measurement, establishing a relationship between what is observed and what can be proven, in such a way that a theoretical principle is elaborated to provide an explanation of the phenomenon.

A theory is subject to the scrutiny of the scientific community and can be refuted, when other data or experiments appear to oppose it. When the argument of a theory cannot be refuted, and is universally accepted, it becomes a scientific law.

Long-term-potentiation and memory. Where do we stand?
svp [43]
Currently we understand that long-term potentiation, also called LTP, and memory are deeply interconnected. We know that memory is based on a neurochemical basis and that long-term-potentiation is one of the proposed and possible mechanisms that explain how memory works.

A(n)_____ is an earthquake that uncurls after a large earthquake centered in the same area.
victus00 [196]

Answer:

Foreshocks

"Foreshock" and "aftershock" are relative terms. Foreshocks are earthquakes that precede larger earthquakes in the same location. An earthquake cannot be identified as a foreshock until after a larger earthquake in the same area occurs.

Masja [62]

I would make an educated guess to say yes because the left and right hemispheres control opposite sides of the body.
