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:

1. Air mass is temperature or humidity

2. The two ways are temperature and humidity

3. Continental Polar and cP

4. Maritime Tropical and mT

5. Continental Tropical and cT

6. Arctic air masses are very cold and polar air masses are not as cold

7. Wind is movement in the air

8. It is called the Great Equalizer because of a storm that caused stockmen to lose herds

9. Pressure impacts the direction of the wind because the faster the wind blows the higher the pressure.

The greatest degree of genetic variation would be found in offspring that result from
jok3333 [9.3K]

The greatest degree of genetic variation would be found in an offspring resulting from sexual reproduction.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Asexual reproduction produces very less variations. Asexual reproduction requires only one parent and thus the offspring would be very similar to the parent. The chance of variations in offspring is very less.

But the case of sexual reproduction is different. Sexual reproduction involved two parents and each parent contribute equal amount of genetic material to the progeny.

Some characters of the offspring will be like one or the other parent and some characters will be a combination of the characters of both parents . Such a combination produces variant offspring.

What happens once a person is infected with a heprevirus?
hram777 [196]
<span>Herpesviridae is a large family of DNA viruses that cause diseases in animals, including humans.

When a person infected once, his immune system develops antidot against the virus, so he becomes immune for that virus for rest of his life. In other words, he can't be affected from that virus again

Hope this helps!</span>
