24. The chemiosmotic model:

A. is supported by the observation that isolated mitochondria that are actively respiring causes the pH of the solution they are in to increase.

B. is supported by the observation that, when isolated mitochondria have an artificial electrochemical gradient (higher pH in the matrix) imposed on them, electrons spontaneously flow through the respiratory chain.

C. requires that mitochondrial ATP synthesis and electron flow through the

respiratory chain be obligately coupled.

D. requires an intact outer mitochondrial membrane.

When the antibiotic valinomycin is added to actively respiring mitochondria, several things happen; the yield of ATP decreases, the rate of O2 consumption increases, heat is released, and the pH gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane increases. Does valinomycin act as an uncoupler or an inhibitor of oxidative phosphorylation? Explain

When the antibiotic nigericin is added to actively respiring mitochondria, several things happen: the yield of ATP decreases, the rate of oxygen consumption increases, heat is released, and the pH gradient across the inner membrane is lost. Explain all four of these experimental observations in terms of nigericin’s mode of action. In other words specifically explain what nigericin is doing and why each of these side effects are occurring. What is common word for nigericin?

An experiment is done to measure electron transport and ATP synthesis in isolated mitochondria. Sketch a plot of the hypothetical experimental results if you measure both O2 consumption and ATP synthesis ( Left Y-axis for O2 consumption; Right Y-axis for ATP production, overlay both on the same plot. You may use different color or simply indicate the curves) versus time (X-axis). Start the experiment (t = 0) with succinate, ADP, and Pi in the mix and successively add DNP at...

Experiments with isolated mitochondria showed that organic compounds are oxidized and O2 is consumed only when ADP is included in the preparation. When the ADP supply runs out, oxygen consumption halts. Explain these results.

it has been observed that malonyl-CoA inhibits palmitic acid oxidation in isolated mitochondria, but that it has little or no effect on the oxidation of octanoic acid ( C8, saturated). Explain this observation.

Radiolabeled NADH was added to cell extracts containing actively respiring mitochondria. After a short incubation period, mitochondria were isolated by subcellular fractionation using density gradient centrifugation and analyzed for radioactivity. In one experiment, tritium labelled NADH (3H-NADH) was used. 14C-NADH was used in a second experiment. Radioactivity was associated with mitochondria in only one of these experiments. Which one? Explain.

1. If a person has isolated one cheek cell and that cell has 100 mitochondria, how many fragments of DNA would be amplified after 3 rounds of PCR (don’t include the original mitochondria, just the amplified product)? 2. Why do most viruses that cause the common cold, last a while but are not lethal to the host? 3. When using ordered Sordaria, you can measure something that you can do with no other organism, what is it?

Q1/ A simply supported isolated (T) beam have span length of (6m) subject to the ultimate design moment (Mu=705 kN.m) (including the moment from the self weight of the beam). Beam dimensions are: d=500mm, hf=125mm, bw=250mm, and b=500mm. for , find the steel reinforcement at the center of the beam and find the total depth (h) of the beam. (Use 010mm for shear reinforcement and 036mm for longitudinal reinforcement

You have isolated an organism from the urine of Patient X, a 24 year old female. It is showing gamma hemolysis on blood agar and the colonies are large with an entire margin and are white in color. You perform a gram stain with the results pictured below. You perform a catalase test and it produces bubbles. You next perform an oxidase test and it is oxidase negative. 1. What is the next step to take in identifying the organism?...
