Answer:

It is not usually a component of eukaryotic membranes.

Explanation:

Cholesterol is responsible for modulating the fluidity of the cell membranes of eukaryotes.

It is produced in most animal cells, and its formation is substantially active in <u>liver</u> cells, where bile acids are synthesized from cholesterol.

In addition, cholesterol is the precursor of steroid hormones such as progesterone, testosterone, estradiol and cortisol.

Cholesterol (like other lipids) is <u>amphipathic</u>, meaning it has a polar head (hydrophilic) and an apolar tail (hydrophobic).

Given the above, it can be concluded that the false statement is "it is not usually a component of eukaryotic membranes".

Grace [21]

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.

Stella [2.4K]
It is important to make the client understand that while alcohol might not be the cause of their problems or all of their problems it does affect the process of their decision making depending on the situation and how they feel towards different situations. A short-term goal would be to go a week without drinking alcohol and to note their changes in mood, behavior towards others and different challenges that they face. Another option is to set a "challenge" to see how long the client can go without the consumption of alcohol, the longer they go without the bigger the changes they will see in their day to day life.
