The ATPase Synthase Complex Q12.1: Why are 4 H needed for every ATP synthesized and exported by mitochondria, even though only 3

H need to be translocated by the ATP Synthase Complex to synthesize one ATP

Answer:

1 H is consumed in exchanging the synthesized ATP in mitochondria with ADP in cytosol by adenine nucleotide translocator (ANT).

Explanation:

The electrons from NADH and FADH2 are transported in electron transport chain through various complexes that act as electron transporter, to oxygen. In this process, the pumping of protons from mitochondrial matrix to intermembrane space causes a concentration gradient and hydrogen ions diffuses out of matrix space through ATP synthase causing the production of ATP.

          3 H are enough to pass through ATP synthase for the phosphorylation of ADP to produce ATP. 1 H or 25% of energy yielded from electron transfer is required to exchange the matrix ATP with the ADP in intermembrane space by adenine nucleotide translocator (ANT). This process provides continuous supply of ADP to mitochodaria and ATP which is exported to cytosol is utilized by cell to perform various functions. There will be no ATP production in mitochondria without ADP. So 4 H are required for 1 ATP production.

1 H for importing ADP to mtichodaria + 3 H for phosphorylation of ADP to ATP

What is the structural formula for saturated fatty acid?
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

The chemical structure of a saturated fatty acid exhibits each carbon bonding to the adjacent carbon with single bonds. Each carbon is also bonded to two hydrogen atoms. The linear nature of saturated fatty acids allows for tightly packed formations, causing them to be solid at room temperature

Select the incorrect statement regarding macromolecules found in cells.
Otrada [13]

Answer:

The repeating subunits of DNA are ribonucleotides whereas in RNA they are deoxyribonucleotides.

Explanation:

Ribonucleotides are repeating subunit of RNA while the deoxy-ribonucleotides are repeating subunits of DNA. That why RNA full form represent the ribonucleic acid and DNA represent deoxyribonucleic acid.

Actually the word "deoxy" means one oxygen is removed or less in DNA. The DNA  lacks the one oxygen atom of hydroxyl group at carbon number two of ribose sugar. While RNA have the hydroxyl group at carbon number two of hydrogen atom.

The removal of one hydrogen atom in DNA make it more stable than RNA because DNA is made specifically to store genetic information and needed to be strong. The oxygen atom in RNA makes it vulnerable for attack by other biological molecules.

Answer:

Atomic theory is the scientific theory that matter is composed of particles called atoms.

Solids: their molecules are close to each other.They can't change their shape nor they can does it expand to fill the entire available volume like gas.

Liquid: A liquid is an incompressible fluid that conforms to the shape of the container in which it is stored. It's molecules are not too close to each other.

Gas: Most gases cannot be seen but are present in the atmosphere.Their particles are far from each other.Gas is described by pressure, volume, temperature and number of particles
