Researchers conducted an experiment to investigate the effects of a valinomycin treatment on skeletal muscle cells. Valinomycin

is a naturally occurring substance that can be used as a drug. The results of the experiment are presented in the table. Which of the following claims about the effects of the valinomycin treatment is best supported by the data presented in the table?
A. The valinomycin treatment caused an increase in the activity of the rough endoplasmic reticulum.

B. The valinomycin treatment caused an increase in the activity of the Golgi complex.

C. The valinomycin treatment caused a decrease in the activity of the lysosome.

D. The valinomycin treatment caused a decrease in the activity of the mitochondria.​

The valinomycin treatment caused a decrease in the activity of the mitochondria.  

Explanation:

When valinomycin treatment was given, the rate of ATP production is reduced in the cells treated. Since mitochondria are involved in ATP synthesis, it clearly shows that valinomycin inhibits mitochondrial action.  

Valinomycin being a selective K+ ionophore, it can transfer potassium ions through selective lipid membranes. This can cause potassium effux in organelles like mitochondria leading to marked loss of potential of mitochondrial membrane and apoptosis in cells.

The effux of K+ ions forms a complex with valinomycin and slows down the mitochondrial part of ATP synthesis by reducing the proton-motive force, but does not block any oxygen electron transfer .

A number of antibiotics attack prokaryotic protein synthesis, but not eukaryotic protein synthesis. Name two common antibiotics
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

Streptomycin and Erythromycine.

<u>Streptomycin:</u> inhibit protein synthesis by combining irreversibly with 30s subunit mRNA.Thus the normal synthetic sequences is disrupted.

Streptomycin does not stop protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells because it does not bind to eukaryotic ribosomes.

<u>Erythromycine:T</u>he Erythromycine inhibits  protein synthesis through interference with the binding 50s subunit ribosome.

Erythromycin does not estop protien synthesis in eukaryotic cells because it does not binds to eukaryotic ribosome.Specificity towards prokaryotes relies upon the absence of 50S ribosomes in eukaryotes.

 Antibiotics block processes that occur in prokaryotic cells but not in eukaryotic cells that's why they not affect ekaryotes.

Explanation:

Antibiotics are simply chemicals that kill prokaryotic cells but do not harm eukaryotic cells. They are natural chemicals produced by fungi and bacteria that act to control their bacterial competitors.

Antibiotics block processes that occur in prokaryotic cells but not in eukaryotic cells that's why they not affect eukaryotes.

There are different classes of antibiotics inhibit different steps of prokaryotic life cycle.

<u>Streptomycin and Erythromycin </u>are group of antibiotics that inhibit protein synthesis of bacteria.They are specifically effective against prokaryotes does not inhibit protien synthesis of eukaryotes.
