Answer:

The answer is true, the pumping of hydrogen ions decreases and finally stopps.

Explanation:

As the cyanide blocks the bindinge site for oxygen, which is normally reduced to water, the pumping of hydrogen from the matrix into the space between the mitochondrial membrane decreases and finally stopps. There is an accumulation of electrons and the components of the respiratory chain are completely reduced, therefore the respiratory chain stopps working.

Which final discovery about cells led to the development of the cell theory?
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

The answer is A

By the late 1830s, botanist Matthias Schleiden and zoologist Theodor Schwann were studying tissues and proposed the unified cell theory. The unified cell theory states that: all living things are composed of one or more cells; the cell is the basic unit of life; and new cells arise from existing cells.

Which of the cell types shown helps determine capillary permeability?
alexira [117]

The correct answer to this is:

“Astrocytes”

Astrocytes also called star cells due to their shape are the most abundant glial cells in the brain. Extensions from these cells encase capillaries and offer extra control over which materials enter or leave the intercellular fluid of the CNS thus acting like a permeability membrane.
