Question
Chapter 26, Problem 8TYU
Summary Introduction
To review:
Whether the result of the experiment performed on the magnetite-producing bacteria support or undermines the hypothesis that the bacteria in the culture media perform
Introduction:
The researchers observed the bacteria obtained from deep subsurface to produce magnetite under laboratory conditions. The same bacterial culture was treated with a poisonous drug, which blocked or inactivated the enzymes involved in the electron transport chains. These bacterial cultures did not produce magnetite.

- What molecules from the cellular respiration reaction could be used in the experiment to then calculate the rate of cellular respiration? C_6H_12O_6 O_2 CO_2 H_2O Energyarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is False?a. Photosynthesis occurs in plastids.b. Chloroplasts extract energy from food storagemolecules.c. Mitochondria likely originated from prokaryotic cells.d. Plant cell walls are a type of extracellular matrix.arrow_forwardYou are observing a cell. Its has a cell wall which is made of a long-chain polysaccharide called peptidoglycan. It has the ability to make all but the simplest molecules and can make all of the 20 amino acids. What kind of cell is it? If the cell contained pigments capable of photosynthesis, what would it be called?arrow_forward
- How does cellular respiration differ in prokaryotes and eukaryotes? A. Eukaryotes perform reactions in mitochondria; prokaryotes use the plasma membrane. B. Eukaryotes use substrate-level ATP synthesis; prokaryotes use oxidative phosphorylation. C. Eukaryotes do not use oxygen; prokaryotes only use oxygen. D. Eukaryotes use NAD+/NADH as electron acceptors; prokaryotes use FAD+/FADH2.arrow_forwardIf a scientist took over a cell, and forced glycolysis to not occur, but allowed the other processes (such as proton pump, photosynthesis, and krebs cycle) explain what would happen. Name some of the hypothetical problems that would take place. Must have words: Pyruvate, NAD+, NADH, ETC, glucose, ATP, and Le Chatelier's Principle.arrow_forwardWhy is it necessary for cells to have a vacuole filled with water if they are photosynthetic cells? Plant cells that do no do photosynthesis, might store starch or pigments in their vacuoles. So, why is a reservoir of water essential for cells doing photosynthesis? In your answer, be sure to refer to the organelle that does photosynthesis.arrow_forward
- Describe the role of each of the membrane proteins shown in the picture below. Think about what is happening to the electrons and describe how energy is transformed as electrons move along the chain. Part of this involves the formation of the proton gradient. The other part is the explanation of the energetics of electron transport that you investigated above. In other words, the reason that electrons always flow from complex I to complex III to complex IV to oxygen.arrow_forwardCells were treated with a chemical that inhibits the first step of the electron transport chain in cellular respiration. How would this affect the levels of the inputs and outputs of the electron transport chain? The cells would have decreased levels of O2 compared to untreated cells. The cells would have increased levels of ATP compared to untreated cells. The cells would have increased levels of NADH compared to untreated cells. The cells would have decreased levels of FADH2 compared to untreated cells.arrow_forwardNADPH is readily available to donate its electrons in the cell because it occurs in such high concentration. Aside from helping build molecules, what kind of benefit is this really for the cell?arrow_forward
- What is an analogy that can be used to help explain the risks associated with antibiotics? An analogy is a way of explaining an unfamiliar complex idea by using a comparison to a more familiar, less complex idea. For example, describing ATP as the "currency" of the cell. Describe the analogy in an easily understandable way, while maintaining scientific accuracy.arrow_forwardThe primary purpose of cellular respiration is to produce a molecule (ATP) that supplies energy to the cell. To aid cell growth, O B creates cellular structures. For creatures to breathe, O C produces oxygen. In prokaryotic cells, D creates a nucleus.arrow_forwardIf you added a protonophore (a substance that makes membranes leaky for protons) to mitochondria, what would happen to the amount of ATP produced? a) More ATP because a leaky inner membrane will allow more protons to diffuse across the membrane. b) More ATP because a leaky outer membrane will allow more protons to diffuse across the membrane. c) Less ATP since protons must accumulate in the inner membrane space in order to produce ATP. d) Less ATP since electrons must accumulate in the inner membrane space in order to produce ATP. e) No change in ATP production would occurarrow_forward
