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.

Answer

Complex barrier to the flow of substances out of the cells,and restrictions to inflow of unwanted substances into the cells. The hydrophobic and hydrophilic nature of the cell membrane controls the entry of substances from the extracellular medium into the intracellualr. In addition the polarity restricts certain substance movement across the walls.

Serve as the selective channels  for the  influx of certain substances into the cells, and the out flux of wastes.This is through ion channels for the movements of ions across.

Provide insulation to the cells,to maintain the constant internal temperature,this is through the presence of lipids as( Phospholipids and cholesterol).The latter prevent the clogging of the lipids in the cell membrane therefore preventing frozen up of the cell membrane,providing insulation.

Separation of metabolic process in the cell.

Explanation:

Cell membrane-This is present in all cells.But the variation of its constituents makes it unique to each cell. Although it performs the same role, the location and role the cells it bounded, reflects its  constituents, it is made up of lipids, carbohydrate, protein and cholesterol

Select the statements that accurately describe endocytosis. The cell membrane pinches off to form an extracellular vesicle joine
noname [10]

Answer: The cell membrane invaginates and pinches off, creating a vesicle within the cell.

Explanation:

Endocytosis is an active transport mechanism, for particules to be transported, the plasma membrane of the cell invaginates, forming a pocket around the target particle. The pocket then pinches off, resulting in the particle being contained in a newly created intracellular vesicle formed from the plasma membrane.
