Describe the organization of protein complexes within the cristae. explain how the complexes are involved in atp production.

Biology
1 answer:
Troyanec [42]4 years ago
7 0

The protein complexes in the cristae that contribute to the H+ gradient (electromotive force) across the cristae membrane include; complexes I (NADH/ubiquinone oxidoreductase), II (succinate dehydrogenase), III (cytochrome c reductase) and IV (cytochrome c oxidase).

Complex I feeds an electron from NADH to a quinol molecule ( concomitantly pumping four protons from the matrix into the crista lumen). Complex III transfers the electron from quinol to cytochrome C (concomitantly pumping one proton). Complex IV transfers the electron from cytochrome c to an oxygen molecule (concomitantly forming a water molecule and pumps four protons).

This H+ gradient is then harnessed by ATP synthase to form ATP by phosphorylating ADP.


NADH+H+ → Complex I → Q → Complex III → cytochrome c → Complex IV  → H2O

                 Complex II

                     ↑

                 Succinate

Assume that the growing polypeptide chain of amino acids being produced represents an enzyme humans use to help digest starch. T
arlik [135]

Answer:

B) nuclei of gland cells.

Explanation:

DNA carries the blueprint for the production of all the proteins including enzymes in human beings. Humans are eukaryotes and their DNA is present in the nucleus of their cells. All the cells that make the complex human body are derived from division in the zygote and therefore, are genetically identical and have the same DNA.

However, gene expression is regulated by the expression of specific genes in specific cells and at a different time of developmental stages. Amylase is the enzyme that digests starch in humans. Amylase is secreted by salivary glands. So, the nuclei of these glands would have genetic information for the synthesis of amylase.

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is - by absorbing too much sodium and water into the cells in the respiratory system.

Explanation:

Cystic fibrosis or CF is a genetic disorder that is caused by the presence of two defective genes that leads to the production of thick and sticky mucus in an individual that affects the respiratory and digestive system by clogging mucus in it.

Due to defective genes, there is an abnormal electrolyte transport system develops in which cells of the respiratory system including the lungs absorb an excessive amount of salt (sodium) and water. It all caused by deletion of the three letters which means an amino acid from a gene that leads to the disruption of the protein that controls the production of the mucus and abnormal electrolyte transport.

_____ is a by-product of respiration while ______is a by-product of photosynthesis.
vagabundo [1.1K]
Carbon dioxide is a byproduct of respiration while oxygen is a byproduct of photosynthesis.

Remember that a byproduct is a secondary product that is made in the synthesis of another. It is unintended and excreted.
