Answer:
Explanation:
because a proton gradient is necessary over the inner mitochondrial membrane during oxidative phosphorylation for ATP production, ATP production will decease if gramicidin is added because the inner mitochondrial membrane will become permeable and the protons will be able to move in and out, there will be no electrochemical gradient left to drive ATP production. Electron transport will not be altered because it is dependent on the availability of NADH and FADH2. proton pumping also will remain the same but it will be useless because the protons can go back and forth
Answer:
Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in chloroplast in plants. It absorbs sunlight during the process of photosynthesis. It is a chelate molecule. In a chelate molecule a central metal ion forms bonds with a large organic molecule made of carbon, hydrogen and other elements like nitrogen or oxygen.
In chlorophyll, magnesium is the central metal ion and it is bonded to a large organic molecule called as porphyrin. Porphyrin constitutes four nitrogen atoms to which the central magnesium is bonded in square planar arrangement. Since chlorophyll is responsible for the green color of the leaves, more the green color more the chlorophyll content and more is the nitrogen content. Hence, chlorophyll meter measures this green light and finds out if the plant needs more or less nitrogen.
The nitrogen fixation is a very important process because it is the principal source of nitrogen in the marine environment for photosynthetic plants. Nitrogen is a growth limiting nutrient, that is very important for the growth of photosynthetic plants. During the process of nitrogen fixation, nitrogen is absorbed from the atmosphere and it is fixed by nitrogen fixing organisms.
Answer: Autocrine signal, paracrine signal and endocrine signal.
Explanation:
Testosterone is an example of hormone which shows its effect on different locations of the cells.
The autocrine signal can be defined as the siganals which shows its effect on the cell from where it is being produced. This means a cell targets itself.
Then comes the paracrine signals in which signals acts locally on the cells nearby it. The cells close together to the cells producing chemical signals is being affected.
The endocrine signals can be defined as the effect of the hormone on the distant cells. The signals is produced by the cells somewhere else but is carried through the bloodstream to the distant cells.
All of the three effects is being shown by testosterone autocrine, endocrine and paracrine.
