When the protein gramicidin is integrated into a membrane, an H+ channel forms and the membrane becomes very permeable to proton

s (H+ ions). If gramicidin is added to an actively respiring muscle cell, how would it affect the rates of electron transport, proton pumping, and ATP synthesis in oxidative phosphorylation? (Assume that gramicidin does not affect the production of NADH and FADH2 during the early stages of cellular respiration.)

Answer with Explanation:

Gramicidine is an antibiotic that has a polypeptide structure and is composed of 3 chains. This molecule can adopt a structure called beta 6-3 helix, so as to form a channel through the cell membrane of bacteria which allows the passage of ions (in this case cations) such as H +, K + or Na +, this situation leads to that in the cell alterations in the content of cellular cations are generated, among the effects the loss of potassium that can cause the death of the cell due to hemolysis due to alteration in the permeability of the membrane is highlighted. This effect is known as the ionophore effect.

An ionophore effect leads to the inhibition in the release of H + to the mitochondrial electronic transport chain.

Gramicidin thanks to its mechanism of action, when it produces interference specifically in a cellular organelle called mitochondria in the inner mitochondrial membrane, it is responsible for interrupting the passage of electrons, alters the gradient of H + and the performance of the enzyme called ATP- synthase which is responsible for producing ATP.

The damage that the entire previous situation produces on oxidative phosphorylation, leads to the refusal of ADP refosphorylation, then ADP and its hydrolysis products will accumulate, and finally the result will be a decrease in ATP levels.

Hi,Cyclone occur over the oceans of equatorial region why give reason​
taurus [48]

Answer:

Cyclones are actually water born storms in the equatorial regions.

Mainly, water near this equator get heated up as it receives direct sunlight, the hot air rises up and to fill this empty space cold air from poles rush to these equatorial regions. And hence the cyclones are mostly formed in Equatorial regions.

Large blue whales that are up to 30 meters long live primarily on ________ that is/are only about 6 cm long.
zalisa [80]

Large blue whales that are up to 30 meters long live primarily on krill that is/are only about 6 cm long.

Blue whales belong to the class of mammals. They are the largest animals on the Earth. They live in marine habitat. They can be more than 100 feet long. The weight of a single whale can be equal to 30 elephants. And they can live for as long as 80-90 years.

Krill are small animals belonging to the class of crustaceans. They are present in oceans. Krill are actually zooplanktons. They are majorly the food of whales. Krill are filter-feeders.
