Answer:

C. +23.1 kJ/mol

Explanation:

the formula to use to calculate the energy requirement in kJ/mol to transport a proton across the mitochondrial inner membrane in plant cells is:

ΔGt = RTIn  \frac{C_{2} }{C_1}   + ZFΔV

let's list the values of the data we are being given in the question to make it easier when solving it.

Z= 1

F= 96500C (faraday's constant)

ΔV= 160mV = 0.160V

R= 8.314( constant)

T= 15ºC ( converting our degree Celsius into kelvin, we will have 273.15k+ 15 = 288.15K)

∴ T= 288.15K

Putting it all together in the formula, we have:

ΔGt = 8.314 × 288.15 × 2.303 log \frac{C_{2} }{C_1}  + 1  × 96500 × 0.160

ΔGt = 5517.25   [ -(log(H^{+}_{out} ) + log(H^{+}_{in} )_{in}  +15440

ΔGt  = 5517.25 (pH_{out} - pH_{in}  +15440

Given that the pH  differential gradient  across the membrane is 1.4pH units. It implies that;

ΔGt  = 5517.25 × 1.4 + 15440

=  7724.15 +15440

= 23164.15 Joules/moles

= +23.1 KJ/mole

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer;

Decision making and emotion; memory and visual processing

Explanation;

Cingulate Cortex  is a subcortical structure above the corpus callosum. its anterior (Forward) segment participates in decision making and emotion, and its posterior (rear) segment participates in memory and visual processing.

-The forward 2/3 of this structure, the ACC: anterior cingulate cortex- participates along with the hypothalamus in the control of the autonomic nervous system (also roles in decision making, emotion, anticipation of reward, and empathy)

The rear third, PCC: Posterior cingulate cortex participates in memory and visual processing.

In your own words, explain how hiv/aids damages the immune system
Anastasy [175]

Answer:HIV attacks a specific type of immune system cell in the body. It's known as the CD4 helper cell or T cell. When HIV destroys this cell, it becomes harder for the body to fight off other infections. When HIV is left untreated, even a minor infection such as a cold can be much more severe.
