Answer: D
Explanation:
Endocytosis is the process of capturing a substance or particle from outside the cell by engulfing it with the cell membrane, and bringing it into the cell. Exocytosis describes the process of vesicles fusing with the plasma membrane and releasing their contents to the outside of the cell.
ATP is the main energy-providing molecule in living organisms.
Options
A. Yes, because all enzymes and electron carriers are functional
B. No, because with a leaky membrane, the proton gradient cannot be maintained
C. No, because leaky membranes inhibit glycolysis
D. No, because leaky membranes do not allow NADH and FADH2 to donate their electrons to the electron transport chain
Answer:
B. No, because with a leaky membrane, the proton gradient cannot be maintained
Explanation:
The proton motive force (PMF) provides the needed pump to generate electrochemical gradients of proton needed for continue influx into the matix of the mitochondria. The proton Influx generates the energy needed by protein ATPase Synthase for synthesis of ATPs by adding inorganic phosphate to ADP to give ATP.
ADP + Pi -----------→ ATP.
If the mitochondria;l intramembrane leaks, then the PMF can not be sustained, therefore electtrochermical gradient which supplies the energy for ATP synthase for ATP synthesis will not be available. Therefore ATP synthesis stops.
The correct answer is Includes the Golgi apparatus and the endoplasmic reticulum.
The endomembrane systemrepresents a group of membranes and organelles that works together to modify, package, and transport lipids and proteins. It exists in eukaryotic cells only. The endomembrane system does not include all the organelles, like mitochondria, chloroplasts, or peroxisomes.
Answer:
The gametophyte is green and nutritionally independent in mosses, liverworts, and fern.
Explanation:
The gametophyte is the sexual stage of growth in plants and algae.
During this stage, there is production of reproductive organs which produce sex cells.
During this stage, the gametophyte is independent since it relies fully on itself for food production.
The presence of chlorophyll enables this independence.
The gametophyte produces its own food through photosynthesis.
