DNA in prokaryotes are not bounded by Nuclear Memberane !! It is scattered all over cytoplasm !!
Answer:
They can not live on their own
Explanation:
The main difference between cells and viruses is that viruses need another cell to infect so that they can reproduce. Cells on the other hand can reproduce on their own.
Water, air, food. and heat.
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.
The question is; would a drug that binds irreversibly to these receptors be an effective contraceptive in mammals?, the answer is;Yes; because if the receptors are blocked the sperms will not be able to penetrate the zonal pellucida of the egg. Contraceptives prevents pregnancy by interfering with the normal process of ovulation, fertilization, and implantation.
