Answer:
- Hydrogen ion concentration is lower in the mitochondrial matrix than in the intermembrane space.
- Oxidative phosphorylation relies on the hydrogen ion concentration gradient generated and maintained by the electron transport chain.
- Hydrogen ions enter the mitochondrial matrix via facilitated diffusion.
Explanation:
Oxidative phosphorylation is a metabolic pathway by which Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) molecules are produced through the transfer of electrons from NADH or FADH2 to molecular oxygen (O2). The hydrogen (H+) ions are pumped from the mitochondrial matrix to the intermembrane space, and this movement of protons generates an electrochemical gradient across the mitochondrial membrane which is used by the ATP synthase to produce ATP. This gradient is generated by the movement of electrons through a series of electron carriers (e.g., cytochrome c and ubiquinone) that are embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane. The movement of these H+ ions across the semipermeable mitochondrial membrane moving down their electrochemical gradient is named chemiosmosis and is an example of facilitated diffusion.
Answer:
(D) Enzymes can function only within living cells.
Explanation:
<em>Enzymes are biological molecules that are proteinous in nature and speed up the rate of biological reactions.</em>
Option A is true because enzymes are not used up or changed when they are used to catalyze reactions
Option B is true. Enzymes are very specific with regards to the reactions they take part in.
Option C is true. Some enzymes contain non-protein component that assist them in their functioning. These non-protein components are called co-factors.
Option E is true. Because enzymes are proteinous in nature, they can be destroyed/denatured by high temperatures.
<em>The only untrue option is D. Some enzymes can function outside living cells. For example, the enzymes involved in digestion can function not just within living cells but also outside it. The functions of some of the digestive enzymes can be demonstrated in the laboratory.</em>
The correct option is D.
Answer:
Lunar Phases.
Explanation:
Lunar phases are created by changing angles of the earth, the moon, and the sun, as the moon orbits the earth.
