g Identify the statements that accurately describe how hydrogen ion concentration relates to energy production in oxidative phos

phorylation. Hydrogen ion concentration is lower in the mitochondrial matrix than in the intermembrane space. The pH in the mitochondrial matrix is lower than the pH in the intermembrane space. Energy is generated as a result of the difference in hydrogen ion concentration between the intermembrane space and the cytoplasm. Oxidative phosphorylation relies on the hydrogen ion concentration gradient generated and maintained by the electron transport chain. Hydrogen ions enter the mitochondrial matrix via facilitated diffusion.

Answer:

- Hydrogen ion concentration is lower in the mitochondrial matrix than in the intermembrane space.  

- Oxidative phosphorylation relies on the hydrogen ion concentration gradient generated and maintained by the electron transport chain.  

- Hydrogen ions enter the mitochondrial matrix via facilitated diffusion.

Explanation:

Oxidative phosphorylation is a metabolic pathway by which Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) molecules are produced through the transfer of electrons from NADH or FADH2 to molecular oxygen (O2). The hydrogen (H+) ions are pumped from the mitochondrial matrix to the intermembrane space, and this movement of protons generates an electrochemical gradient across the mitochondrial membrane which is used by the ATP synthase to produce ATP. This gradient is generated by the movement of electrons through a series of electron carriers (e.g., cytochrome c and ubiquinone) that are embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane. The movement of these H+ ions across the semipermeable mitochondrial membrane moving down their electrochemical gradient is named chemiosmosis and is an example of facilitated diffusion.

What does an enzyme’s structure have to do with a catalytic activity?
igomit [66]

Answer:

Explanation:

The proteins in enzymes are usually globular. The intra and intermolecular bonds that hold proteins in their secondary and tertiary structures are disrupted by changes in temperature and pH. This affects shapes and so the catalytic activity of an enzyme is pH and temperature sensitive.

How have advances in biotechnology and genetic engineering been built on past discoveries?
uranmaximum [27]

<span>It began with selective breeding in the ancient times where a population with desirable traits were bred with other population to achieve a desired set of traits. It then continued with the advance in the discovery of bacteria (Escherichia coli) and antibiotics. Then Watson and Crick discovered the structure of DNA. The latest advance being that of gene sequencing and gene editing tools. </span>
