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

Biology
1 answer:
Softa [21]3 years ago
8 0

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.

If a drug that was an inhibitor of PP1 activity was ingested by a person
Reptile [31]

The correct answer is: Glycogen phosphorylase would remain phosphorylated and retain some activity.

Glycogen phosphorylase is directly involved in the regulation of glucose levels since it is a glucose sensor in liver cells: when glucose levels are low, phosphorylase is active and it has PP1 bound to it (phosphatase activity of PP1 is prevented). Therefore, there phosphorylase a will accelerate glycogen breakdown.

Black_prince [1.1K]

The Prostate gland

The prostate is a walnut-sized organ that surrounds the first part of the urethra. It is located between the bladder and the penis. Semen is formed by the prostate by combining a thick white fluid it initially produced with the sperm from the testicles. It also produces an antibiotic protein known as prostate-specific antigen (PSA) that changes the semen into liquid.

What characteristic of viruses distinguishes them from cells? They lack an independent metabolism. Their traits do not evolve in
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is "They lack an independent metabolism"

Explanation:

Viruses are usually active/alive in a living environment and become inactive in non-living environment; these is because they rely on the metabolic activities of the invaded living environment/cell. This property is a sharp contrast to normal living cells that are able to metabolize different substances independently using several organelles.
