Atoms gain electrons to form anions.

Atoms lose electrons to form cations.

Back in middle school, my chemistry teacher taught me a good way to remember whether an ion was a cation or an anion. When an atom loses an electron, it becomes positive, and when an atom gains an electron, it becomes negative.

Cation sort of sounds like “cat,” which is positive (Yay! Cats!).

Anions, on the other hand, sounds like “onion,” which is negative (Ew! Onions!).

There’s other ways of memorizing it, but this way was the easiest for me.

Why is formation of atp by atp synthase in the mitochondria known as oxidative phosphorylation?

Softa [21]

Answer:

Because the redox reactions create proton gradient which is responsible for the production of ATP

Explanation:

During the process of aerobic respiration, the electron transport occurs in mitochondria through a sequence which is known as electron transport chain. When electrons are transferred from one complex to the other complex present in the inner membrane of mitochondria, the redox reactions occur and as a result of these redox reactions the proton gradient is created across the inner membrane of mitochondria. This proton gradient is further used to drive the synthesis of ATP with the help of ATP synthase. As the redox reactions create proton gradient which is responsible for the production of ATP, the process is named as the oxidative phosphorylation.

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

(the gene for the disease has incomplete penetrance. the gene for the disease has limited expressivity. the disease is polygenic) - all these are examples of non-mendelian inheritance which include incomplete penetrance, polygenic inheritance etc. These do not follow the mendelian pattern of inheritance.

(the gene for the disease is recessive.)- this shows the mendelian pattern of inheritance... Dominant and recessive characteristics are examples that show Mendelian inheritance.

What do mutated proto-oncogenes cause?

lesya692 [45]

Answer: Bad gene

Explanation:

They can cause and become a ''bad'' gene, a gene that is not good.

That gen is not good because it can become permanently activated or turned on in the times where it is not supposed to happen and because of that cell can grow out of control. When a cell is growing out of control it can be really bad because it can cause cancer.
