If negative selection of T-lymphoctyes in the thymus never occurred, what would likely happen? The specificity of the immune sys

tem would improve. T-lymphocytes would bind self-antigens. Mature T-lymphocytes would lack CD proteins. T-lymphocytes would be unable to bind nonself-antigens.

Answer:

The correct answer would be "T-lymphocytes would bind self-antigens".

Negative selection of T-lymphocytes takes place in the cortico-medullary junction in the thymus.

It removes T-lymphocytes which show high-affinity binding with self-antigen. Thus, it helps in introducing self-tolerance in T-lymphocytes.

In absence of negative selection, T-lymphocytes which show high-affinity binding for self-antigen would survive and develop into mature T-lymphocytes.

Consequently, T-lymphocytes would able to bind to self-antigens of the body which can result in autoimmune disease.

g Identify the statements that accurately describe how hydrogen ion concentration relates to energy production in oxidative phos
masha68 [24]

Answer:

- Hydrogen ion concentration is lower in the mitochondrial matrix than in the intermembrane space.  

- Oxidative phosphorylation relies on the hydrogen ion concentration gradient generated and maintained by the electron transport chain.  

- Hydrogen ions enter the mitochondrial matrix via facilitated diffusion.

Explanation:

Oxidative phosphorylation is a metabolic pathway by which Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) molecules are produced through the transfer of electrons from NADH or FADH2 to molecular oxygen (O2). The hydrogen (H+) ions are pumped from the mitochondrial matrix to the intermembrane space, and this movement of protons generates an electrochemical gradient across the mitochondrial membrane which is used by the ATP synthase to produce ATP. This gradient is generated by the movement of electrons through a series of electron carriers (e.g., cytochrome c and ubiquinone) that are embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane. The movement of these H+ ions across the semipermeable mitochondrial membrane moving down their electrochemical gradient is named chemiosmosis and is an example of facilitated diffusion.

What 2 things do cells need in order to create energy
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:Beginning with energy sources obtained from their environment in the form of sunlight and organic food molecules, eukaryotic cells make energy-rich molecules like ATP and NADH via energy pathways including photosynthesis, glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

Explanation:

Your body cells use the oxygen you breathe to get energy from the food you eat. This process is called cellular respiration. During cellular respiration the cell uses oxygen to break down sugar. Breaking down sugar produces the energy your body needs.
