2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP) is a weak acid that can diffuse across lipid membranes. When added to eukaryotic cells, DNP can enter th

e mitochondria and move protons between the intermembrane space and the mitochondrial matrix by binding protons on one side, diffusing across the inner mitochondrial matrix and releasing protons on the other side, i.e. move protons down their concentration gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane.
a. How will DNP affect the proton gradient generated by ETC?
b. Will the addition of DNP inhibit the ETC, ATP synthase or both? Briefly explain your answer.

Answer:

a. In the presence of 2,4 dinitrophenol, which is soluble through the lipid membranes, the H+ gets an another route to pass through the membrane. It hampers the proton gradient potential without any generation of ATP. The gradient that was being utilized for the generation of energy is now just lost in the form of heat.  

b. With the reduction in the generation of energy, the cells get devoid of ATP, and drive the electron transport chain intensely so that the collapsing proton gradient gets re-established. However, it prevents the ATP synthase by providing a different path to the proton ions and thus diminishing the H+ concentration gradient.

Can you determine which instances reflect a valid experiment or conclusion? Check only those that are valid.
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Only options A (first one) reflects the instances with valid experiment or conclusion.

Quality of any experiment depends upon two things reliability and validity. Reliability is measure of regeneration of results every time an experiment is performed under specific conditions.

Validity is measure of accuracy of results of an experiment. It can be check by two ways: internal validity (checks the design of the experiment) and external validity (checks if the conclusion is the real explanation of the phenomenon).

Now, in marine biologist experiment, he concluded the results only after one breeding season. This makes his results unreliable as it might have happened by chance.

Similarly, in cola experiment the taste was only checked by one candidate i.e. Karl. He might have problem in his taste buds. In addition, the temperature of cola can also affects its taste which is not taken care of in the experiment. Hence, it is not the valid experiment.

Similarly. Jeanette could use more plants for her experiment and Robert just followed only one instruction. He didn't perform any experiment.

Please help<br> Explain Give two examples of how abiotic factors are influenced by biotic factors?
Zanzabum

Answer: If this doesn't help just let me know

The abiotic factors will define which organisms are able or not to live in a specified place. The living organisms will constitute the biotic factors, which define if and how can an organism live in a specified environment. So, the abiotic factors are controlling the biotic factors of an environment.

In northern Canada a population of rabbits was predominantly white in color. The allele for white color is recessive while the a
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Directional selection tends to evolve towards one specific trait. In this example, white rabbits no longer have a competitive advantage because of disappearing snow. This means they are more easily spotted by predators, resulting in reduced fitness and less chance they will live to reproductive age and pass their recessive white alleles on.

Natural selection will favor the gray colour allele, increasing the frequency oft this previously rare allele.
