Which of the following are part of the chemiosmotic coupling model? Protons are pumped out of the mitochondrial matrix into the

intermembrane space. The active transport of protons is driven by the free energy derived from electron transport. Increasing the concentration of protons in the intermembrane space creates an electrical potential and a pH imbalance that releases energy upon proton flow back into the matrix. The energy released by the return of protons to the matrix is what drives ATP synthesis.

The correct answer is: Protons are pumped out of the mitochondrial matrix into the intermembrane space

Chemiosmosis can be described as movement of ions across a selectively permeable membrane, down their electrochemical gradient. It occurs during the cellular respiration within mitochondria and it is involved in ATP synthesis (oxidative phosphorylation via ATP synthase).

Electrons from electron carriers (NADH and FADH) donate electrons to the electron transport chain and that causes changes in protein complexes of electron transport chain. As a consequence, protein complexes pump H+ across a selectively permeable cell membrane from the mitochondrial matrix into the intermembrane space of mitochondria.  

H+ can only get back and pass through the inner mitochondrial membrane with the help of ATP synthase (down their electrochemical gradient). ATP synthase turned by the force of the H+ diffusing through it forms ATP by adding a phosphate to ADP.

It is a small RNA molecules that interfere with gene expression.
Semmy [17]

Answer:

miRNA ( micro RNA )

Explanation:

The small RNA molecule that interfere with gene expression are miRNA. The miRNA is micro RNA that are non-coding molecules of RNA. These small RNA regulate gene expression after transcription (post transcription).

The miRNA binds to 3' UTR region (untranslated region ) and halt the process of protein production and thereby silencing mRNA.

What is plant blindness?
Komok [63]

Answer:

The answer is A.

Explanation:

Plant blindness refers to "the inability to see or notice the plants in one's own environment." The term plant blindness was coined twenty years ago by Elizabeth Schussler and James Wandersee who are botanists. Plant blindness results in "the inability to recognize the importance of plants in the biosphere and in human affairs." It is also the reason why people have a tendency of ranking “plants as inferior to animals”. Therefore, plants tend to receive limited care and upkeep. It is important to recognize plant blindness so that more intentional care can be given to preserving our plant species and ensure their survival and ability to thrive.
