Which process will be immediately inhibited if cytochrome c is unable to interact with cytochrome c oxidase

Biology
1 answer:
bonufazy [111]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Electron transfer to from cytochrome c to molecular Oxygen in the process of oxidative phosphorylation

Explanation:

Cytochrome c is a protein which is involved in the electron transport chain for the production of ATP molecules during then process of respiration. It a soluble protein found in the intermembrane space of the mitochondria. It receives electrons from ubiquinone at Complex III of the electron transport chain and transfers this electron to molecular oxygen through its interaction with complex IV or cytochrome c oxidase, reducing molecular oxygen to water.

If the interaction of cytochrome c with cytochrome c oxidase is inhibited, the process of elctron transfer to oxygen will be inhibited and, so ATP synthesis will cease.

Ultimately,  respiration will be inhibited resulting in death of the organism. For example, cyanide inhibits cytochrome c oxidase resulting in death of the organism poisoned with cyanide.

Which organisms utilize a one-way air flow through their lungs to maximize airflow efficiency and oxygen consumption?
Leya [2.2K]
The answer is birds.

Birds <span>utilize a one-way airflow through their lungs to maximize airflow efficiency and oxygen consumption. Although they inhale and exhale through one trachea, air flows in one direction through birds lungs. This is enabled thanks to air sacks. When birds inhale, air travels through the trachea, which further divides into two bronchi. The part of the air enters the lungs, and the other part remains in posterior air sacks. After the first exhalation, the fresh air from the posterior air sacks enters the lung and displace the spent air which is moved to the trachea. In case there is fresh air in the trachea, spent air is moved to anterior air sacks and after following exhale, it flows out from the trachea.</span>

Which of the following relies on amolecule binding to the repressor to prevent the repressor from binding to the operator?
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

d. induction

Explanation:

A repressor is a protein capable of inhibiting target gene expression by binding to both operator sites and gene silencers. A DNA-binding repressor inhibits the interaction between the RNA polymerase and the DNA promoter sequence, thereby suppressing transcription into RNA. Moreover, the RNA-binding repressor is a protein that binds to the messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule in order to prevent its translation into protein. An inducer can start transcription by interacting with the repressor, thereby separating it from the DNA operator sequence.
