B) In the process of the citric cycle that occurs in the mitochondrial matrix, electrons from this chemical pathways move from one protein complex to another and are ultimately accepted by oxygen molecule in the formation a water molecule. Concomitantly, protons are transported to the intermembrane space. Accumulation of H+ ions in the mitochondrial membrane creates an electromotive force that is harnessed by ATP synthase to enable the phosphorylation of an ADP to ATP.
A) A leaky membrane, therefore, would interfere with the accumulation of protons in the intermembrane space. This will reduce the electromotive force that is harness by the ATP synthase to produce ATP by phosphorylation of ADP. Consequently, this defective mitochondria will produce less ATPs than a healthy mitochondria.
Answer:
Explanation:
A cell as the functional and structural unit of life exhibits numerous concepts of life which include:
1. Growth; A cell is a subject to this as the growth of a cell translates to the growth of the tissue is composed of, the cell is responsible for all biochemical actions in living organisms, this growth is achieved via mitosis.
2. Reproduction: Cells also experience reproduction via meiosis, where a diploid cell divides to produce 2haploid cells an example of this is the spermatozoa.
3. Death: Cells are also subject to death, which can either be programmed (Apoptosis), or due to sickness(Necrosis). This is also found when humans die and become stiff due to rigor mortis which occurs as a result of cell death

Some arteries carry oxygenated blood just as some capillaries do.
Some veins carry deoxygenated blood just like some capillaries do.
