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.

drawing upon the results of this exercise, why is pseudomonas aeruginosa of such concern in burn patients chegg
Agata [3.3K]

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is of concern in burn patients beacuse it can cause infections like AIDS,diabetes mellitus , etc.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common bacteria that can be found in soil, water, and other environmental niches. Burn wounds are intricate microenvironments where bacterial pathogens like P. aeruginosa can cause infections. Typical virulence factors like pyocyanin and pyoverdine expressed at higher levels than they would have under conventional laboratory conditions.

Elastase is secreted as well, is primarily responsible for the host tissues'  degradation. P. aeruginosa infections cause severe consequences mostly in organisms with weakened natural defences. Examples of these circumstances include burn wound patients.
