Respuesta
True
False
Pregunta 2
Pregunta
Tenet 2 - An electron transport chain powers the pumping of protons across a cell membrane
Respuesta
True
False
Pregunta 3
Pregunta
Tenet 3- Energy transducing membranes must have special systems allowing ions and metabolites to pass (to maintain osmotic pressure in the case of a high membrane potential)
Respuesta
True
False
Pregunta 4
Pregunta
Tenet 4- The ATP synthase should NOT also act as an ATP translocator
Respuesta
True
False
Pregunta 5
Pregunta
Why does disrupting the inner mitochondrial membrane increase alkylisation of the medium?
Respuesta
The inner membrane becomes more permeable and protons enter the mitochondria down the concentration gradient
The inner membrane becomes more permeable and protons leave the mitochondria down the concentration gradient
Pregunta 6
Pregunta
Why does O2 injection acidify the membrane and prove chemiosmotic theory?
Respuesta
The O2 allows protons to be pumped out of the inner membrane into the solution, acidifying it
The O2 allows protons to be pumped out of the solution into the mitochondria acidifying it
The medium then alkylises as they flow back in
Pregunta 7
Pregunta
The number of protons pumped is substrate dependent
Respuesta
True
False
Pregunta 8
Pregunta
