In mitochondria, the metabolism of sugars is completed: the pyruvate is imported ... This allows 15 times more ATP to be made than that produced by glycolysis alone. ... (A) Most of the energy would be released as heat if hydrogen were simply burned. ... and the outside positive (as a result of the net outflow of positive ions).

Answer:

The energy of proton transfer down the concentration gradient would be lost as heat and ATPs would not be formed by oxidative phosphorylation.  

Explanation:

Oxidation of NADH and FADH2 via electron transport chain generates a proton motive force with intermembrane space being positive due to a higher concentration of protons as compared to the mitochondrial matrix.

Since the inner mitochondrial membrane is impermeable to protons, protons can be transported via channel proteins only. Movement of the protons down the concentration gradient via Fo proton channels drives the ATP synthesis on the matrix side.  

According to the questions, the inside of the mitochondria has more protons. This would drive the movement of protons from the matrix to the intermembrane space via proton channels. Since the ATP synthase enzyme is present on the matrix side, the movement of protons towards the intermembrane space would not drive ATP synthesis and the energy will be lost as heat.

Genetic disorders can result when sister chromatids fail to separate properly.
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Anaphase Il of meiosis is the phase in which sister chromatids fail to separate properly from each other. It is a genetic disorder.

This nondisjunction also occurs in mitosis of cell division. It cannot pass from parents to offspring because mitosis occurs in body cells not sex cells. This nondisjunction in mitosis causes serious disease such as cancer. Cancer disease also contain abnormal number of chromosome.

Scutellosaurus is a primitive ornithischian that is grouped in with the thyreophoran clade becuase?
Dominik [7]

Scutellosaurus is a primitive ornithischian that is grouped in with the thyreophoran clade because it has small armored plates on along its back.

  • Small scutes on the back and sides of the body are a distinguishing feature of the Early Jurassic Period (approximately 200 million to 176 million years ago) genus of small ornithischian dinosaurs known as Scutellosaurus.
  • Although some experts contend that Scutellosaurus' forearms were strong enough to permit quadrupedal mobility, it possessed short forelimbs and robust hind limbs, which are indicative of a bipedal position.
  • Scutellosaurus grew to be 1.5 to 2 meters long (about 5 to 6.5 feet). Its skull lengthened to approximately 9 cm (about 3.5 inches), and it featured a row of fluted cheek teeth in the shape of leaves and many large incisors that appeared to be specialized for feeding on plants.

erastova [34]

Taxonomy is subjective and open to individual interpretation. While classification can be subjective, it is the best system we currently have. Scientists do not arbitrarily change classification schemes, but once a different opinion is voiced, it is examined and discussed before any decisions are made. Change is not always a bad thing.
