The answer is a ‘series of steps in which enzymes work one
at a time to convert a compound to a related compound’. The intermediate products of metabolic pathways are called metabolites. An example of a metabolic cycle is the Glycolysis and Krebs cycles. The product in each step of the
metabolic pathways becomes the substrate
of the next step in the pathway. There are two types of metabolic pathways;
anabolic and catabolic
Options
A. Yes, because all enzymes and electron carriers are functional
B. No, because with a leaky membrane, the proton gradient cannot be maintained
C. No, because leaky membranes inhibit glycolysis
D. No, because leaky membranes do not allow NADH and FADH2 to donate their electrons to the electron transport chain
Answer:
B. No, because with a leaky membrane, the proton gradient cannot be maintained
Explanation:
The proton motive force (PMF) provides the needed pump to generate electrochemical gradients of proton needed for continue influx into the matix of the mitochondria. The proton Influx generates the energy needed by protein ATPase Synthase for synthesis of ATPs by adding inorganic phosphate to ADP to give ATP.
ADP + Pi -----------→ ATP.
If the mitochondria;l intramembrane leaks, then the PMF can not be sustained, therefore electtrochermical gradient which supplies the energy for ATP synthase for ATP synthesis will not be available. Therefore ATP synthesis stops.
Answer:
Option C, They allow random distribution of genetic material when a cell divides.
Explanation:
The chromatin are responsible for packaging of DNA molecule into smaller space with in a chromosome. It not only package it but also protect it from. Packaging allows for easier division of cells during mitosis and meiosis and hence prevent any kind of damage to the DNA.
Chromosomes make recombination and random segregation of genetic material to form new cells. Each new cell gets equal number of chromosomes
Hence, option C is correction
I believe the correct answer is upwelling. Lets say we have producers such as plankton. well upwelling currents bring dead matter from the ocean floor up to the surface, creating plankton.
