Consider a hepatocyte (liver cell) carrying out the oxidation of glucose under aerobic conditions. Potasstum cyanide, a potent i

nhibitor of the enzyme cytochrome c, is administered. Indicate whether each of the following statements about the effect of this uncoupler is true or false; if false, briefly justify in one or two sentences. (4 points total) (a) The rate of oxygen consumption will decrease. (b) The cell will switch from glucose oxidation to fatty acid oxidation. (c) ATP synthase will still be able to create ATP. (d) Lactic acid fermentation will increase sharply.

Answer:

(a) The rate of oxygen consumption will decrease.

Explanation:

The rate of oxygen consumption will decrease due to the Potassium cyanide which inhibits both utilization of oxygen by the cell as well as ATP production. Cytochrome performs an important function in the mitochondria of the cell which is the production of ATP. Cyanide binds to the cytochrome and inhibits the ATP production that is performed by mitochondria of the cell. So Potassium cyanide decreases the rate of oxygen consumption in mitochondria.

How does the Foucault Pendulum show that the Earth rotates?
egoroff_w [7]

The Foucault Pendulum show that the Earth rotates because the pendulum would swing so slowly that it would appear to change direction as the Earth moved away.

<h3>How does the Foucault pendulum work?</h3>

The Foucault pendulum was able to demonstrate experimentally that the Earth revolves around itself with an angular velocity Ω, in a period of 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4 seconds.

Thus, Foucault knew that the longer the string attached to the weight, the slower the swing of his pendulum. He could attach the string above to an almost frictionless pin, and if he used a very large weight, the pendulum would swing so slowly that it would appear to change direction as the Earth moved away.

Which geological feature is most common at oceanic-continental convergent boundaries?
alex41 [277]

Trenches are geological feature is most common at oceanic-continental convergent boundaries.

Explanation:

Usually, the oceanic plate, because it is denser, becomes subducted underneath the continental plate. The enormous stress of the two colliding plates causes the plates to warp abit downwards along the boundary causing a trench to form that stretches the boundary.

As the oceanic plate gets subducted and ‘dives’ into the mantle, it begins to melt into magma. Usually, due to the enormous stress along the boundary, fissures develop on teh continental plate along teh boundary. The magma rises through these fissures and erupts at the surface. Several mountains form long the boundary forming another signature geological feature of convergent boundary which is volcanic arc mountains.

Which choice best describes the purpose of most pharmacogenomic research??
zavuch27 [327]
Pharmacogenomic is defined as <span>the study of the role of the </span>genome<span> in </span>drug<span> response. It is a combination of Pharmacology and Genomics.

It studies how the genetic makeup of an individual affects his or her response to drugs. For example, a certain drug is administered to two individuals. One doesn't have any adverse reaction while the other one has. Pharmacogenomics will then conduct tests and study its results on why two individuals given the same drug have different reaction to it.</span>
