You are asked to study a new inhibitor of oxidative phosphorylation. When it is added to a suspension of mitochondria carrying o

ut 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.

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.

Which statements describe freshwater sources? Check all that apply.
vekshin1

"Rainwater can replace or replenish freshwater sources" and "precipitation, such as rainwater, is a source of freshwater on Earth" statements describe freshwater sources

<u>Explanation:</u>

Rainwater a source of pure distilled water, evaporated by the sun. When it falls it comes in contact of air and land. when ground soaks the water it becomes mineral water. And it is safe for drinking.

All the freshwater sources are result of precipitation from the earth surface,in various form i.e rain,mist,snow.  Freshwater falling as rain have materials dissolved from atmosphere in it,sea and the land over which the clouds has travelled.

Mason drew the cladogram shown. Which statements best describes the cladogram? Select three options. (HURRY I WILL MARK BRAINLIE
Yuki888 [10]

Answer: Correct options B, D and E.

Explanation:

In the cladogram, we can see that in the first branch we have a division, one branch goes to fish and the other goes to a division (a division means a common ancestor)

Then the fish are the most primitive (being directly related to the first ancestor)., E is true.

We also can see that between fish and birds we have 3 separations (the ancestor in common is 3 "generations" behind), and between frog and birds we have two separations (the common ancestor is 2 "generations" behind), so frogs are more closely related to birds than fish.

So D is also true.

We also can see that the only pair that has only one ancestor in common are birds and reptiles, so the ones that are most closely related are birds and reptiles. B is also true,

How are histone modification enzymes (such as HATs) and chromatin remodeling complexes recruited to unmodified chromatin, and ho
kiruha [24]

Answer:

A histone modification mechanism proliferate through a process that includes post translational modification procedure. The methylation, acetylation as well as ubiquitylation are one of the main modifiers that help in activation of silent genes and ultimately these covalently bonded histone modifiers help in regulating chromatin. The PTM has a main role in altering histone structure by these modifier's recruitment....

The article describes the former abundance of trees and forests on easter island. describe several factors that contributed to t
tester [92]

1. One of the main reasons for the extinction of the trees in the Eastern Island is the extinction or sudden demise of the birds that carried the seeds to different places. Some of the human activities would have also led to the process of extinction, like the trees were being cut to construct canoes and to use as tools in order to erect statues, and to burn them for warmth.  

2. There was a need to farm the trees and manage them in a proper framework. For example, if one is having 100 trees, then one should use 33 and then plant 33 seeds, and should always keep 34 intact. One should have not used all the trees at once.
