How is surface area to volume ratio linked to the structure of human lungs and blood vessels?

Biology

<u>Large surface area - many alveoli are present in the lungs with a shape that further increases surface area. Thin walls - alveolar walls are one cell thick providing gases with a short diffusion distance. Moist walls - gases dissolve in the moisture helping them to pass across the gas exchange surface.</u>

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

There would be the uncoupling of proton translocation and ATP synthesis.

There would be no net effect on the overall function of ATP synthase.

ATP hydrolysis coupled to proton transport out of the matrix would increase.

ATP synthase would remain sensitive to F0 proton conduction inhibitors.

Proton binding to sub-unit c would be impaired.

The c sub-units would not fold correctly.

Explanation:

  • There would be the uncoupling of proton translocation and ATP synthesis.
  • There would be no net effect on the overall function of ATP synthase.
  • ATP hydrolysis coupled to proton transport out of the matrix would increase.
  • ATP synthase would remain sensitive to F0 proton conduction inhibitors.

Explain how a trait might seem to “disappear” for a generation, and then “reappear” in the following generation.
lapo4ka [179]
This state is characteristic for recessive traits. For an individual to express a recessive trait, it must have two recessive alleles (one of two or more alternative forms of a gene) of the responsible gene. But, if it has one recessive allele and one dominant allele, it will not have the trait, but he will be called a carrier. So, it seems like the trait "disappeared" but still it is "carried" in the genome. However, if its offspring has two recessive alleles and express the trait, it will <span>seem </span>like the trait "reappeared".
