In chemiosmotic phosphorylation, what is the most direct source of energy that is used to convert adp + pi to atp?

1 answer:

8 0

An ion (hydrogen ions, H⁺) gradient has potential energy which can be used for making ATP. Because of the proton gradient, H⁺ will diffuse from an area with higher proton concentration to an area with lower proton concentration. ATP synthase is the enzyme which allows protons to pass through the membrane and uses the free energy difference to convert ADP into ATP.

The proton gradient is made by electron transport chain which pumps H⁺.

Eukaryotic cells. Classify each statement according to whether it occurs in eukaryotic cells, prokaryotic cells, or both.

frutty [35]

Answer:

Both:

The start codon is often AUG

Eukaryotic cell only:

The larger subunit of the ribosome is 60s.
The ribosomes initially binds the 5' end of mRNA.

Prokaryotic cell only:

The ribosome is 70s
Translation occurs in the cytoplasm
There are multiple ribosome binding site

Explanation:

AUG is the common start codon for both eukaryotic as well prokaryotic cells. In eukaryotic cell, it codes for methionine . While in prokaryotic cell, it codes for formyl methionine.
In prokaryotic cell, ribosomes are found in cytoplasm, hence the translation occurs in cytoplasm.
Eukaryotic ribosome consists of two subunits; 40s and 60s(larger subunit)
Prokaryotic ribosomes have 70s ribososme, which consists of 50s and 20s subuints
in eukaryotic cell, 40s ribosome initially binds to the cap at the 5' end of mRNA.
Bacterial mRNA contain multiple ribosome binding sites.

If we had a Gold necklace, and we melted it down and reshaped it to a gold coin

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Explanation:

D) Volume mass and density

volume mass and density do not change because when the necklace is melted down it doesn't change the amount or density of the necklace.

Reading from 5’ to 3’, this RNA product has the sequence ____________ . It binds to the small subunit of the ____________ . It i

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

AUG, ribosome, initiation, translation

Explanation:

The transfer of information from DNA to RNA to protein is called Central Dogma. The formation of protein from mRNA is translation. The translation begins with initiator codon AUG in mRNA. The ribosome small subunit (30s) binds to the RNA. The tRNA binds and then large subunit (50s) attaches with mRNA.

Thus, reading from 5’ to 3’, this RNA product has the sequence AUG. It binds to the small subunit of the ribosome. It is joined by the large subunit, completing the initiation stage of the process of translation.
