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.
The major food molecule in living organisms is a sugar called glucose. Most carbohydrates (sugars and starches) are converted into glucose before they are broken down in the cytosol to release energy. ... If oxygen is present, then glucose can be broken all the way down into carbon dioxide and water.
Answer:
only females
Explanation:
In humans, sex chromosomes in males and females are different. The sex chromosomes found in humans are X and Y chromosomes. X-linked trait is a trait which is inherited on the X- chromosome. According to the question, the trait is passed on a X-linked dominant condition, which means the condition is inherited on the abnormal dominant X-chromosome that will express itself even when in an heterozygous state with a normal X-chromosome.
Hence, a father affected by the condition will have a genotype; XY while a mother that does not have the condition will have a genotype: xx (two normal x chromosomes). Since the Father can only pass his X chromosome to his daughters and never his sons, all his daughters will inherit the condition (see the punnet square in attached image).
N.B: None of the sons will inherit the condition since the mother will pass normal X-chromosomes (x) to her sons.
Kinetic theory of matter is the movement of the particles of the substance and temperature is the measurement of hot or cold over a period of time
