Answer:
The human genome contains approximately 3 billion of these base pairs, which reside in the 23 pairs of chromosomes within the nucleus of all our cells. Each chromosome contains hundreds to thousands of genes, which carry the instructions for making proteins.
Answer:
In muscle cell, fermetation produces <u>"lactate and NAD"</u>
<u>In fermentation Pyruvate is reduced and __NADH__ is oxidized.</u>
Explanation:
Muscle cells perform lactic acid fermentation when enough oxygen is not available to support aerobic cellular respiration. The process of glycolysis forms two molecules of pyruvate from one glucose molecule and uses NAD+ as electron acceptor. During lactic acid fermentation, pyruvate is reduced into lactate and NADH serves as an electron donor. The final products are lactate and NAD+. The reaction is catalyzed by lactate dehydrogenase enzyme. The NAD+ produced by fermentation is required to continue the process of glycolysis.

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:
- 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.
- 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.
Answer:
Option A
Explanation:
Thyroid is primarily caused by lack of iodine but there are other reasons as well that lead to increased size of the thyroid gland. Some of these reason is
a) over- or underproduction of thyroid hormones
b) Nodules in the glans
Some times, due to overstimulation immune system itself attack the thyroid gland thereby producing excess thyroxine and hence causing the thyroid to swell
Thus, Option A is correct
