Options
A. Yes, because all enzymes and electron carriers are functional
B. No, because with a leaky membrane, the proton gradient cannot be maintained
C. No, because leaky membranes inhibit glycolysis
D. No, because leaky membranes do not allow NADH and FADH2 to donate their electrons to the electron transport chain
Answer:
B. No, because with a leaky membrane, the proton gradient cannot be maintained
Explanation:
The proton motive force (PMF) provides the needed pump to generate electrochemical gradients of proton needed for continue influx into the matix of the mitochondria. The proton Influx generates the energy needed by protein ATPase Synthase for synthesis of ATPs by adding inorganic phosphate to ADP to give ATP.
ADP + Pi -----------→ ATP.
If the mitochondria;l intramembrane leaks, then the PMF can not be sustained, therefore electtrochermical gradient which supplies the energy for ATP synthase for ATP synthesis will not be available. Therefore ATP synthesis stops.
Mitochondria is a semi autonomous cell organelle, it is able to make its own protein because it has promiscuous DNA which has genes that have instructions to make proteins
Energy cannot be destroyed
Look it up on google , i had this same question and google helped me. i can’t remember the answer or i’d tell u
