Imagine that you are working with isolated mitochondria and you manage to double the ratio of protons outside to protons inside. In order to maintain the overall Gat its original value (whatever it is), how would you have to change the mitochondria membrane potential?
You are growing human muscles cells in the lab and you are trying to test how wellthe cells survive with decreasing concentrations of oxygen. As part of yourexperiment, you are measuring the rate of glucose use, the rate of mitochondrial ATPproduction and the pH of the solution surrounding the cells. As the concentration ofoxygen becomes lower änd lower, what changes might you expect to observe inthese cells?A. The rate of glucose use would increase, the rate of mitochondrial ATP productionwould decrease, and the pH of the solution would decrease (become more acidic).B. The rate of glucose use would decrease, the rate of mitochondrial ATP productionwould decrease, and the pH of the solution would increase (become more basic).C. The rate of glucose use would increase, the rate of mitochondrial ATP productionwould increase, and the pH of the solution would decrease (become more acidic)D. The rate if glucose use would decrease, the rate of mitochondrial ATP productionwould decrease, and…
In phase II of ETS diagram and label the ATP synthase along with the inner mitochondrial membrane it is sitting in. Your diagram must show the intermembrane space and the mitochondrial matrix. Describe how it works step by step
SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY In the 1930s, some physiciansprescribed low doses of a compound called dinitrophenol(DNP) to help patients lose weight. This unsafe method wasabandoned after some patients died. DNP uncouples thechemiosmotic machinery by making the lipid bilayer of theinner mitochondrial membrane leaky to H+. Explain howthis could cause weight loss and death.
Cyanide is a chemical that irreversibly binds to (i.e. prevents the functioning of) the enzyme cytochrome oxidase, an important enzyme in the electron transport system. a) Explain, at the cellular level, why cyanide is a lethal chemical. b) Suggest at least one other cellular consequence of cyanide (i.e. what else happens to the electron transport system when cyanide is present), and an explanation of this effect.
The proton motive force is the result ofa. ATP synthase transporting protons during ATP synthesisb. an electron gradient between the matrix and the intermembranespace of a mitochondrionc. a proton gradient between the matrix and intermembrane space ofa mitochondriond. a buildup of negatively charged ions
A suspension of inside-out submitochondrial particles (i.e., the F1 unit is on the outside of the particle) is placed in a solution that contains ADP, Pi, and NADH. Will increasing the proton concentration of the solution result in ATP synthesis? Explain.
Where in cellular respiration does feedback inhibition occur? Describe all. (Hint:think about glycolysis, pyruvate processing, and electron transport chain and what's being inhibited in each) What would happen if this feedback inhibition were removed?
Cyanide is a poisonous substance. Cyanide is a cytochrome c oxidase inhibitor that is competitive. The last enzyme of the electron transport chain in mitochondria is cytochrome c oxidase. One of the most common substrates for cytochrome c oxidase is oxygen.Would an increase in the concentration of oxygen affect the inhibitioncaused by cyanide?How would conditions in the mitochondrial intermembrane spacechange if cytochrome c oxidase and the electron transport chain are notfunctioning properly.. Explain why this change in conditions will be harmful to a cell.
Assuming that 3 H+ are transported per ATP synthesized in the mitochondrial matrix, the membrane potential difference is 0.18V (negative inside), and the pH difference is 2 unit (acid outside, basic inside), calculate the largest ratio of ATP/(ADP)(Pi) under which synthesis of ATP can occur. (gas constant 8.3J/mole, F is 96,485 kJ/V, T in , Co +273)
The electron transport chain of mitochondria: O makes ATP. contains cytochromes and proteins containing flavins (FAD). O generates an H* gradient such that the outside of the mitochondrion is more basic than the inside. O is present in the outer membrane of the mitochondrion. O reduces NAD*.
Ouabain specifically inhibits the Na+K+ ATPase activity of animal tissues but is not known to inhibit any other enzyme. When ouabain is added to thin slices of living kidney tissue, it inhibits oxygen consumption by 66%. Why? What does this observation tell us about the use of respiratory energy bykidney tissue?
