You incubate isolated intact mitochondria in a buffered solution containing succinate (an oxidizable substrate) and ADP plus Pi.

Upon adding cyanide (an inhibitor of Complex IV, cytochrome c oxidase), you examine the effect on oxygen consumption and the production of ATP. What will occur?

Answer:

No Oxygen will be consumed, and there will also be no ATP production.

Explanation:

No Oxygen will be consumed, and there will also be no ATP production.

The blockage of  the binding of Oxygen with cytochrome C enzyme occurs, and this greatly decreases the cellular uptake of oxygen.

Therefore, in the presence of cyanide, ATP production is inhibited due to blocked oxygen utilization.

Answer: "cyanide interferes with the reduction of oxygen,which decreases the proton gradient and ATP production."

Explanation:

The electron transport chain is an energy converter,transforming chemical energy to the energy of a proton gradient.As electrons flow along their energy gradient,some of the energy used by each complexes(NADH dehydogenase,cytochrome b-c1 and cytochrome oxidase a-a3) to pump proton from the mitochondrial matrix into the intermembrane space.This creates a proton gradient which in turn drives them back across inner membrane through ATP synthase,which uses the energy of H+ flow to synthesize ATP from ADP and Pi.

When cyanide is added,it inhibits cytochrome c,one of the complexes responsible to transfer electrons along the chain.Hence electron transport chain will become nonfunctional.Oxygen will not be reduced.And since the electron transport chain will be nonfunctional,no proton gradient will be available to drive ATP synthase to synthesize ATP from ADP and Pi, so no ATP will be produced.

Answer:

The expansion of excess water as it turns to ice inside the cells would break the cells apart

Explanation:

We know that water expands anomalously. It expands between 4- 0°C.

Hence water expands upon freezing. Ice has more volume than liquid water and takes up more space in plant cells.

The expansion of excess water as it turns to ice inside the cells would break the cells apart

Which step in the PCR process will be affected?
Temka [501]

The denaturation step in the polymerase chain reaction will be affected. As a result the DNA strands will not unwind and the DNA will not become single stranded.

<u>Explanation:</u><u> </u>

Polymerase chain reaction is used to synthesize multiple copies of DNA. The technique in molecular biology uses thermal cycling which involves steps of heating and cooling. There are three important steps in PCR.

Nucleic acid denaturation is the first step. In this step the DNA is heated to about 90°c and this causes the denaturation of the DNA. Two strands of DNA get separated. The second step is annealing in which the strands are cooled to 55°c.

During annealing the primers stick to the complementary sites on the DNA to facilitate its replication. The third step is extension in which the temperature of the mixture is raised to 72°c. The tag polymerase will start working on the DNA strands and replicate them.

If the denaturation step is not performed the speration of double stranded DNA into single strands won’t take place.
