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.

Within a given species, which two types of cells have the equivalent amounts of dna?
kiruha [24]
The original question has a set of choices. This is within the context of cell division. The choices are:

A. A cell in G1 of interphase and a cell in G2 of interphase
B. A cell in G1 of interphase and a cell immediately after the completion of meiosis II
C. A cell in G1 of interphase and a cell in metaphase II of meiosis
D. A cell in G2 of interphase and a cell in metaphase II of meiosis
<span>E. None of the above.
</span>
The correct answer is C. A cell in G1 is diploid and the cell in meiosis II is haploid but the amount of DNA still equivalent as each chromosome in the haploid cell consists of two chromatids. G2 cells already had been through the S phase therefore the genetic material is already doubled. A cell immediately after meiosis II has half the genetic material.

How does an enzyme change the activation energy for a reaction in a cell?
k0ka [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is option c. "Enzyme lowers the activation energy".

Explanation:

The activation energy is defined as the amount of energy needed for a reaction to take place. Enzymes catalyze reactions by lowering the activation energy, which speeds up the reaction and increases its rate. Enzymes put a substrate in its active site, which facilitates the reaction and makes more likely that it collides with its subsequent substrate.
