- Which of the following is TRUE about cytochrome c protein? As a part of the ETC chain, it changes conformation to allow H+ ions to flow out of the matrix. It is found on the surface of the inner mitochondrial membrane and, therefore, contains start-transfer and/or stop-transfer sequences. With assistance from Bax, it can move out of the mitochondria and into the cytosol. It is considered a symporter because it is involved in electron transport. It is able to puncture holes in the plasma membrane to initiate apoptosis.arrow_forwardWhat compounds are the immediate source of the "high energy electrons" that enter the electron transport system of mitochondria? Where do these electron-donating compounds gain their electrons? What type of compounds are these electron-donating compounds?arrow_forwardThe equation for photosynthesis is 6CO2 + 6H2O + Sunlight --> C6H12O6 + 6O2. Explain the role of each of the products (left side of the arrow) and explain where the products (right side of the arrow) came from.arrow_forward
- Plant cells can perform both photosynthesis and cellular respiration. These two processes depend upon each other. Describe in detail the relationship between carbon dioxide and glucose in plant cells. Include a description of the processes in which each is used and give the name of the organelle where each of these processes occurs.arrow_forwardA larger proton gradient is required to forma single ATP in chloroplasts than in mitochondria. Suggest a reason why. Hint: Ions can move across the thylakoid membrane moreeasily than across the inner mitochondrial membrane.arrow_forwardWhat would be the effect on production of ATP from photosynthesis, assuming no effect on enzyme/protein stability, if the pH of the chloroplast stroma were lowered? Whyarrow_forward
- Select the BEST answer for the following question. The oxygen in our atmosphere is a product of. * O cyclic electron flow only O Non-cyclic electron flow only O Both cyclic and non-cyclic electron flow The splitting of carbon dioxide during the Calvin Cycle O None of the answers are correctarrow_forwardHow does DCPIP act as an indicator of presence of mitochondria? Will mitochondria in the presence of DCPIP still make ATP? Why or why not?arrow_forwardThe four complexes of the electron transport chain use the energy of electrons stored in reducing agents to create a concentration gradient of protons (H*) across the mitochondrial inner membrane. Give the number of protons pumped into the intermembrane space by each of the four complexes: complex I: complex II: complex III: complex IV:arrow_forward
- Which statement best describes translation? 00 The process converts an mRNA sequence into a polypeptide. It uses ribosomes to make mRNA. It produces Okazaki fragments. It produces RNA from DNA molecules The process breaks bonds between amino acids.arrow_forwardexplain why the statement is correct. Within the eukaryotic cell, most of the energy stored in ATP is produced through the: mitochondrion completing the oxidation of pyruvate (3 carbon chains)arrow_forwardCell membranes are required for electron transfer phosphorylation. Thylakoid membranes in chloroplasts serve this purpose in photosynthetic eukaryotes. Prokaryotic cells do not have this organelle, but many are photosynthesizers. How do you think they carry out the light-dependent reactions, given that they have no chloroplasts? (What structure do they use instead?) Please and Thank Youarrow_forward
