You are asked to study a new inhibitor of oxidative phosphorylation. When it is added to a suspension of mitochondria carrying out this process, both ATP synthesis and oxygen consumption are inhibited. You suspect that the inhibitor blocks either the F-type ATPase or the electron transport chain. You can perform an experiment that measures the consumption of oxygen and the synthesis of ATP by isolated mitochondria. In one paragraph (6 sentences maximum), explain how the uncoupler, dinitrophenol, can be used to determine whether the inhibitor blocks the ATPase or the electron transport chain.
This was all the information that was given.

Answers

Answer:

DNP produces the loss of the proton gradient (i.e., the energy of the proton gradient is dissipated in the form of heat instead to produce ATP)

Explanation:

2,4-Dinitrophenol (DNP) acts to shuttle H+ ions across cellular membranes, bypassing the ATP synthase used by mitochondria to generate ATP during cellular respiration. Since DNP is able to bypass ATP synthase, this compound uncouples the phosphorylation of ADP by the ATP synthase from the process of oxidation (i.e., transport of electrons). For example, in muscle cells, DNP may be used to shuttle calcium ions (Ca +) from mitochondrial stores, and free intracellular Ca+ ions are evidenced to produce muscle contraction.

Looking at the following organisms and their diets, place them into a food chain. Make sure you have arrows that show the correct flow of energy.

Aardvark: omnivore diet
Ant: herbivore diet
Grass: autotroph
Hyena: carnivore diet

Answers

Answer:

Grass > Ant > Aardvark  > Hyena

Explanation:

The grass is autotrophic, which means it can produce its own food It does so using water, carbon dioxide, and light energy from the sun. The organisms in this food chain rely on other organisms for food.

The ant is a herbivore that consumes the grass for energy. The aardvark consumes both plants and animals (omnivore), so it can consume the ants. The hyena is a carnivore, meaning it only eats animals, such as the aardvark.

Francine is developing a model of the carbon cycle, which involves the movement of carbon among various Earth systems. She begins by drawing the diagram shown below. Her friend Byron evaluates the model, and suggests that she thicken the arrow leading from fossil fuels to the atmosphere. His reasoning is that fossil fuels are being burned at a much faster rate than natural processes are restoring them. If Francine adopts Byron’s suggestion, how could her model be used to explain a significant change to Earth's systems?

Answers

Answer:

After adopting the suggestions of Byron the new or revised model would show that using fossil fuels at a rapid rate would lead to higher inputs of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere which will not be removed by the natural process of removing the excess amount of the carbon dioxide by the process of the photosynthesis and other.

The carbon dioxide would increase due to this and cause trapping of the solar heat in the atmosphere which leads to the greenhouse effect to warm the earth. That ultimately changes the climate of the earth.

a group of students found the specific gravity of a pice of galena to be 7.8. The accepted value for the specific gravity of galena is 7.2 find the % of error in the student's work

Answers

Answer:

Percent error = 8.3%

Explanation:

Given data:

Accepted value of specific gravity = 7.2

Measured value of specific gravity =  7.8

Percent error = ?

Solution:

Percent error = measured value - accepted value / accepted value × 100

Now we will put the values in formula.

Percent error = 7.8 - 7.2/7.2 × 100

Percent error = 0.6/7.2 × 100

Percent error = 0.083 × 100

Percent error = 8.3%

The two friends had been planning the campout for more than two weeks. They picked out a spot for the tent in Josephine's backyard. They chose the games they wanted to play. Now they were at the store with Josephine's dad buying camping food. "This campout is going to be perfect," Cora said as she dropped a bag of marshmallows into the cart. "We have the perfect tent, the perfect games, and the perfect food!"2 Just then a loud clap of thunder sounded outside. The wind whipped as a bright flash filled the dark sky.3 "But not the perfect weather," Cora moaned.4 "That was thunder and that means rain. Rain means no camping," Josephine groaned.5 "I guess we can stop shopping!" Cora snapped. She began taking food out of the cart.6 As Josephine's father placed the food back in the cart, he told the girls not to give up on their campout. They paid for the food and went back to Josephine's house to wait out the storm.7 At dinnertime the sky remained dark gray as the rain continued to pour down outside. The girls sat in silence while they ate. Cora looked out the window and said sadly, "I can't believe it's still raining. Our campout was supposed to be perfect."8 Josephine nodded as she looked from her plate to the window. Josephine's father told the girls that just because something seems impossible doesn't mean it can't happen. He told them to finish eating, go upstairs, and get ready for the campout.9 They looked out the window and wondered how they could still have a campout. How would they stay dry? How would Josephine's father build a fire with wet wood? It was not possible that they could camp in the backyard. Josephine and Cora gathered their sleeping bags and games anyway. They walked slowly down the stairs.10 When the girls got to the bottom of the steps, they smiled. Josephine's living room looked like a forest. The chairs and tables were gone, and potted plants took their place. A fire crackled in the fireplace. Strings of tiny lights glittered like fireflies on the walls. Best of all, the tent was set up in the middle of the room. Josephine and Cora were going to camp after all!11 Josephine and Cora learned that the rain didn't have to spoil their fun. They didn't need to be outside to camp. They didn't need a real campfire to cook hot dogs or marshmallows. Josephine and Cora's indoor campout was perfect because they didn't give up on it.Read the passage on the left to answer the following questions:3) Which sentence BEST describes the theme of this story?A) If you're hopeful, the weather could improve. B) Don't give up when something seems impossible. C) Sometimes you have to change your plans.
