Answer:

The answer is A. provides the energy for adding a phosphate to ADP to make ATP.

Explanation:

The ATP synthase is an enzyme located in the inner membrane of the mitochondria. It creates a hydrophilic channel across the inner mitochondrial membrane that allows a flux of protons that moves down an electrochemical gradient. These H+ ions are then used as an energy source during the enzymatic reaction that converts ADP + Pi to ATP. This process is called chemiosmois and it’s not unique to cellular respiration, it is also used in photosynthesis and other processes involved in homeostasis. The proton-motive force, as some people refer to the proton gradient was first proposed by Peter Mitchel in the 1960’s as the chemiosmotic theory.

Answer:

1/2.

Explanation:

The autosomal dominant trait may en defined as the trait that can express itself even in the heterozygous condition and in the homozygous dominant condition as well.

Let the B allele is responisble for the roll tongue and b is recessive allele. The woman can roll the tongue and she must have the genotype Bb because her one parents is normal. The woman married with a man with non roller ( bb). The Bb × bb cross results in the following progeny Dd, Dd ( roller), dd and dd ( non roller). The probability of the child being a roller is 1/2,
