Explain the “Chemiosmotic Model of ATP Production”.

Biology
1 answer:
aev [14]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The electron transport chain (ETC) is located in the mitochodrial cristae.  As electrons move from one protein complex to the other via redox reaction, energy is used to pump hydrogen ions (H+) from the matrix to the intermembrane space of the mitochondria. As hydrogen ions flow down the concentration gradient from the intermembrane space to the mitochodrial matrix, ATP is synthesized by the enzyme ATP synthase.

The ATP synthase complex can be compared to the gates of a dam. when the gates of a hydroelectric dam are opened, water rushes through, and electricity (energy) is produced. Similarly, when H+ ions flow down a gradient from intermembrane space into the matrix, the enzyme ATP synthase synthesizes ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate or P<em>i. </em>This process is called chemiosmosis because ATP production is linked with the establishment of a proton (H+) gradient across the membranes.

Under conditions when there is very intense competition between memebers of the same species the distribution of individuals wil
user100 [1]

As the intense competition of the species are observed in clumped distribution, so the answer is distribution of individuals will tend to be clumped.

<h3>What is intraspecies competition?</h3>

The competition which  occurs between individuals of the same species  based on common need for a limited resources,  leading to a reduction in the survival and reproduction rate.

Intraspecific competition for exploitation which is an indirect type  observed when an individual consumes the available resources.

Intraspecific competition by interference observed when the individuals fight to access for other's food.

Hence, answer is clumped.

A female patient who is diabetic sustained an ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The nurse provides discharge teaching.
Aneli [31]

Answer:

The options

A) "Medications are needed to prevent heart failure."

B) "I will take aspirin, atenolol, and captopril indefinitely."

C) "My blood pressure should be less than 130/80 mm Hg."

D) "Daily estrogen will prevent another heart attack."

The CORRECT ANSWER IS D)

D) "Daily estrogen will prevent another heart attack."

Explanation:

A reduction in the natural hormone estrogen levels could be a causative factor in heart disease increase within post-menopausal women. Estrogen is thought to show a positive impact on the inner layer of artery wall, functioning in such a way to keep blood vessels elastic.

In spite of the advantages of estrogen, the American Heart Association speaks against employing postmenopausal hormone therapy to decrease the likelihood of coronary heart disease or stroke as some research works have revealed that it vividly do not decrase the risk of heart attack but increases the likelihood of blood clots and stroke.
