The inner membrane of the mitochondrion is folded into cristae. The cristae _____ the surface area of the inner membrane, _____
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

The inner membrane of the mitochondrion is folded into cristae. The cristae

<u>increase</u> the surface area of the inner membrane, <u>enhancing</u> the mitochondrion's ability to produce ATP through <u>cell respiration</u>.

Explanation:

Options for this question are

  • <em>increase - inhibiting - photosynthesis</em>
  • <em>decrease - enhancing - cell respiration</em>
  • <em>increase - enhancing - cell respiration</em>
  • <em>decrease - inhibiting - photosynthesis</em>

Mitochondria are the organelles in charge of energy production inside the cell. For the mitochondrion to achieve its goal, a series of metabolic processes must occur, that require the presence of oxygen and organic substrates.

Mitochondrial cristae are the configuration of the mitochondrial internal membrane, with the purpose of increasing the surface where metabolic reactions and the electron transfer chain occur, in order to obtain ATP molecules, during the process of oxidative phosphorylation, also called cellular respiration.

Do a punnett square for the cross shown below between a male and female, both with Hemophilia, an X-linked recessive disease. Fe
GarryVolchara [31]

Question is incomplete. Complete question has been attached.

Answer:

Hemophilia is an X-linked recessive disease. Let the normal allele be represented as XH and the mutant allele be represented as Xh. Here,

hemophilic male = XhY

hemophilic female = XhXh

When XhY  X   XhXh the punnett square will be as follows:          

        Xh       Y

Xh  XhXh   XhY

Xh  XhXh   XhY

The entire progeny will be hemophilic since only Xh allele was passed on by both the parents.

Explain how fat can provide both energy and protein to the organnism​
crimeas [40]

Answer:

The body uses three main nutrients to function 

carbohydrate, protein, and fat.

These nutrients are digested into simpler compounds. Carbohydrates are used for energy (glucose). Fats are used for energy after they are broken into fatty acids. Protein can also be used for energy, but the first job is to help with making hormones, muscle, and other proteins.
