Answer:

ATP synthase would be unable to produce ATP

Explanation:

ATP synthase depends on the proton gradient in the intermembrane space to enable it to produce ATP. As a consequence of this, the toxin will make it inactive. Oxidative phosphorylation is now inhibited in this case, as opposed to substrate-level phosphorylation.

Pyruvate is a product of glycolysis, and it will not be affected by a toxin. NADH is very important in the establishing of a proton gradient, so it is expected that it would be unable to be oxidized due to the toxin. Protons produced in the conversion of NADH to NAD+ actually establish the proton gradient. If the gradient is absent, NADH is then not likely to be oxidized.

What is the biome represented in the climatogram? Multiple choice.
kramer

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Hello!

Let's define each choice and see what choice fits the criteria the most.

Temperate grasslands are open grassy areas with some population of trees, usually having around 500-900mm of rainfall every year.

Tropical rainforests usually do not have a dry season and rain all year round; it has around 1,800 to 2,500 mm of rainfall.

Tropical deserts don't have much cloud cover, hence why they won't get much rainfall. They're irregular and might only get around 250mm of rainfall per year.

Knowing this information, we can also see on the graph that there had been approximately 2100mm of rainfall this year, which helps us conclude that tropical rainforests are the correct answer with the rainfall range.
