Answer:

a) If the electron transport protein is disrupted in the chloroplast then ATP production will not occur. ATP is required for the light-independent process like in the calving cycle by which carbohydrate production takes place. Therefore disruption in electron transport chain will reduce the production of carbohydrates and cellular respiration will also decrease.

b) The effect will be not good on the individual plant because ATP is important for the cell to grow and remain metabolically active and fit. Therefore this virus will hinder the growth and repairability of plant and would weaken the plant.

2a) Which of the following statements about pyruvate oxidation IS TRUE?
Darina [25.2K]

The true statements are:

  • Substrate level phosphorylation ocvurs during Pyruvate oxidation
  • 32 ATP molecules can be made by cellular respiration but only 2 ATP molecules when oxygen is lacking
  • Electrons move from protein to protein due to increasing electronegativity in the electron transport chain
  • ADP is phosphorylated in the matrix of the mitochondria during oxidative phosphorylation
  • ATP inhibits pyruvate dehydrogenase by feedback inhibition

<h3>What is glucose oxidation?</h3>

Glucose oxidation refers to the process in the cells in which glucose molecules are oxidized to form ATP and carbon dioxide in the presence of oxygen.

The first stage of glucose oxidation is the conversion to pyruvate.

Pyruvate is oxidized to acetylCoA.

AcetylCoA enters the citric acid cycle to produce reducing equivalents, NADH for the electron transport chain.

  • The true statements about pyruvate oxidation is that there is substrate level phosphorylation during the process
  • When there is sufficient oxygen, 36 ATP molecules can be made (theoretically) by cellular respiration. However, when oxygen is lacking, only 2 ATP molecules are made.
  • In the electron transport chain of cellular respiration, electrons move from protein to protein due to increasing electronegativity
  • During oxidative phosphorylation, ADP is phosphorylated in the matrix of the mitochondria
  • Aerobic respiration can be regulated by feedback inhibition of pyruvate dehydrogenase by ATP.

Which of the following is the most likely outcome of global warming
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Ongoing effects include rising sea levels due to thermal expansion and melting of glaciers and ice sheets, and warming of the ocean surface, leading to increased temperature stratification. Other possible effects include large-scale changes in ocean circulation.

Paul [167]

False, an environment containing no calcium is not the best for Brian shrimp egg hatching. The following evidence statements can be used to support our answer.

  1. Control shows 9 hatchlings after 72 hours whereas the treatment of 10mg/100ml concentration of calcium shows 17 hatchlings.
  2. Control shows 9 hatchlings after 72 hours whereas the treatment of 20mg/100ml concentration of calcium shows 28 hatchlings.
  3. Control shows 9 hatchlings after 72 hours whereas the treatment of 10mg/100ml concentration of calcium shows 39 hatchlings.
