Answer:

Option (C).

Explanation:

Oxidative phosphorylation may be defined as the process of the production of ATP molecule by the use of enzyme and transfer of electrons from one complex to the other complex.

The liver cells has five times large surface area of inner mitochondrial membrane than the outer membrane. This increases the surface area of the inner mitochondrial membrane that increase the rate of the oxidative phosphorylation. The complexes of the electron transport chain is located in the inner mitochondrial membrane.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

The inner membrane of the mitochondria in liver cells is about five times of that the outer membrane as it helps the expanding the surface area of the inner membrane including cristae which is compartment like structure in the inner membrane.

The expand in the surface area in the inner membrane that helps in enhancing its ability to produce ATP than normal. It increases the surface area for oxidative phosphorylation.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

What is a telomere? What happens to telomeres each time DNA is replicated? How do cells prevent this from occurring?
vredina [299]
Telomeres are protective sequences of nucleotides found at the ends of chromosomes,Which become shorter every time a cell divides.
A gradual degeneration of an organism occurs, resulting in ageing.
However, some cells are able to replenish their telomeres using the enzyme telomerase. 
Hope this helps! :)

Brown hair is dominant over red hair. What will the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring of a cross between a homozygous br
Artemon [7]

Answer:

1) In the first step, we need to predict the possible alleles for the cross. The dominant allele will be written with a capital letter. The recessive allele will be written with a small letter. Hence, the allele for brown hair colour will be B and the allele for red hair colour will be b.

2) In the second step, we need to determine the genotype of the parents. The genotype of the homozygous dominant parent will be BB. The genotype of the heterozygous brown hair colour will be Bb.

3) The punnet square for cross between these parents can be shown as follows:

        B           b

B     BB       Bb

B     BB       Bb

4) In the fourth step, lets determine the phenotype of the children. The phenotype of all the offsprings born will be brown hair colour.

5) The genotype from the punnet square shows that there is a 50% chance that the offsprings will be heterozygous dominant (Bb) for brown hair colour and their will be a 50% chance that the child born will be homozygous dominant (BB).

Increasing excitatory signals above threshold levels for neural activation will not affect the intensity of an action potential.
Lera25 [3.4K]

<u>Answer</u>: an all or none response

According to the all-or-none law, it a certain threshol is crossed by a stimulus' strenght, it will cause a response in the nerve cell or muscle fiber. However, the strenght of the response will always be the same and will not vary with different stimulus strengths. The only requirement is for the threshold to be crossed.
