Answer: ATP synthase

Explanation:

The ATP synthase complex is an enzyme located in the inner membrane of the mitochondrion that catalyzes the synthesis of ATP from ADP, a phosphate group and energy supplied by a proton (H+) flux. This ATP synthesis occurs during cellular respiration, which is a set of biochemical reactions by which certain organic compounds are completely degraded by oxidation to inorganic substances. This process provides usable energy to the cell in the form of ATP.

During cellular respiration, ATP synthesis is termed oxidative phosphorylation and the proton flux takes place between the intermembrane space and the mitochondrial matrix. <u>ATP synthase produces ATP when protons flow through it</u>. The proton flow creates a pH gradient and an electrochemical gradient. <u>This proton gradient is used by ATP synthase to form ATP via oxidative phosphorylation. ATP synthase acts as an ion channel that "returns" protons to the mitochondrial matrix</u>. During this return, the Gibbs free energy produced during the generation of the oxidized forms of electron transporters is released. This energy is utilized for ATP synthesis. It must then be considered that the electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation are coupled by the proton gradient.

A farmer raises black and white chickens. To his surprise, when the first generation of eggs hatch all the chickens are black wi
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Let the allele for black color be "B"

and the allele for white color be "b"

Since after F1 generation all the offspring have black  body with white speckles throughout their feathers.

Thus the allele for black and white show co dominance.

Genotype of parent after F1 generation would be Bb for speckled chickens

Cross between two specked adults will produce -

Bb x Bb

BB, Bb, Bb, bb

Out of four offspring 1 is black (BB), 1 is white (bb) and two are speckled (Bb)

Thus 50% of the offspring will be speckled, 25% will be black, and 25% will be white.

Option C is correct

name the bacteria found in the root nodules of leguminous plants and state the association of the bacteria with the leguminous p
Alexeev081 [22]
The root nodules of leguminous plants houses nitrogen-fixing bacteria called Rhizobia. Rhizobia has a symbiotic relationship with leguminous plants that allows both to benefit from each other.

By binding to hydrogen, the Rhizobia bacterium is able to  convert or fix nitrogen gas into ammonia , a form that the plant can use. Likewise, the legume plant provides the rhizobia bacterium with carbohydrate which the rhizobia depends on for energy. It is important to note that the carbohydrate sent to the nodules for the rhizobia is also what is used as a source of hydrogen to help the bacterium convert nitrogen to ammonia.
