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.

yarga [219]

Answer:

The correct answer is - option D. low context culture.

Explanation:

In low context cultures, individuals use communication in form of direct and precise facts and information. It does not depend on the non verbal language as in the high context culture.

People of these cultures does not go deep in the detail but focus more on the point and based on the facts rather body language this makes them independent to one other and look after one another rather collective interest.

Thus, the correct answer is - Option D. low context culture.

Alcoholism results in the inability of liver cells to properly digest proteins. Which of the following organelles is most likely
dangina [55]
Cells are made up smaller units called organelles that undertake various critical roles in the activities of the cell. Some of these organelles include, mitochondria whose major function is formation and production of energy in the form of ATP, Ribosome is an organelle involved in the protein synthesis, lysosome is involved in the destruction of old and worn out tissues and organelles, Golgi apparatus or complex helps in transportation, modification and packaging of secretions such as proteins and lipids. Therefore, alcoholism affects the activity of lysosomes in the liver since they are tasked in the digestion of proteins using hydrolytic enzymes.
