Answer:

The correct answer is a acyl-carnitine readily cross the mitochondrial inner membrane but the acyl CoA do not.

Explanation:

Fatty acids are activated to form fatty acyl CoA by the help of ATP and CoA SH.But the so formed Acyl CoA cannot cross or pass the inner mitochondrial membrane to enter the mitochondrial matrix to initiate beta oxidation of fatty acid.

To overcome this problem fatty acyl CoA is converted to acyl carnitine and the so formed acyl carnitine readily crosses the inner mitochondrial membrane and enters the mitochondrial matrix.

Transgenic organisms can be scientifically or commercially useful only if __________

Troyanec [42]

Transgenic organisms are those that have had their genomes altered by external means. These organisms are found in applications of genetic engineering, but they are only useful if the inserted gene is expressed in the organism.

An example of a transgenic organism may be a rat with the gene for hemoglobin from a rabbit. This rat is only useful if it indeed does produce rabbit hemoglobin in its blood due to the inserted gene.

Atom is defined fundamental part of a matter. Atom is composed of three sub particles protons, electrons and neutrons.

In an atom, electrons are located in orbits around the nucleus. Nucleus of an atom is located at center of the atomic sphere where protons and neutrons are present. Hence, it will be correct to say that "protons and electrons are far apart with lots of empty space in between".
