Today in class, a student asked whether the positive charge of the presequence of proteins being imported into the mitochondria

was inhibitory for entry into the intermembrane space because of the positive charge present in this compartment of the mitochondria. How do proteins get past this? Wouldn't the net positive charge be inhibitory to import through the TOM complex?

Answer:

Mitochondrial proteins enter the organelle through channels formed by membrane proteins present in its inner and outer membranes.

Explanation:

All the biological membranes have lipid bilayer with the non-polar core that does not allow entry of charged and large substances. Mitochondrial proteins are synthesized in the cytosol and the unfolded proteins bind to the chaperons that deliver them to the receptors present in the outer mitochondrial membrane.

The receptor moves the protein to the membrane channels formed by integral membrane proteins of inner and outer mitochondrial membranes. The proteins enter the intermembrane space and are targeted to the inner membrane through channels while chaperons are left outside only.

Why was Dr. Salk's approach to developing a vaccine for polio considered unconventional and not fully accepted by fellow virolog
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

it was only 90 percent effective

Explanation:

In 1954 a massive controlled field trial was launched, sponsored by the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. Almost two million U.S. children between the ages of six and nine participated. In some areas of the country half of these “Polio Pioneers” received the vaccine, while half received a placebo. In other areas of the country children who did not receive any vaccine were carefully observed. On April 12, 1955, Thomas Francis, Salk’s mentor and the director of the trial, reported that the vaccine was safe, potent, and 90% effective in protecting against paralytic poliomyelitis.

Answer:

1. Photosynthesis

2.carbon dioxide

3. fossil fuel

4.cellular respiration

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the important function takes place mostly in green plants which converts inorganic compounds, water, carbon dioxide to the glucose or organic compound in presence of light energy. It is an important reaction that is required for energy and for food for almost every organism.

Carbon dioxide is the carbon source for the plants to produce glucose or simple sugars with help of water and light energy.

Fossil fuels are formed by the process of decomposition of organic compound and organism of the prehistoric organism which is a carbon containing energy source.

Breaking down or catabolism of glucose in order to produce energy in the form of the ATP is called cellular respiration which is essential for cell to perform cellular functions.
