4. The inner membrane of the mitochondria is impermeable to ions. How does this fit with what
you've learned about membrane structure? Why is this important to cellular respiration?
Answer:
The inner mitochondrial membrane contains proteins involved in the electron transport chain. This chain releases energy that is then used to generate an electrochemical gradient, which is subsequently used to synthesize ATP
Explanation:
Mitochondria are membrane-bound organelles that have an inner membrane separated from an outer membrane by the intermembrane space. Moreover, the mitochondrial matrix is located within the inner membrane. The inner mitochondrial membrane contains proteins involved in the electron transport chain and ATP synthesis. Oxidative phosphorylation (electron transport chain) is the third stage of cellular respiration in aerobic organisms in which ATP is generated by transferring electrons from NADH or FADH2 to O2 by a series of electron carriers located in the inner mitochondrial membrane. The trans-membrane complexes of electron carriers are multiprotein enzyme complexes (I–V) and electron carriers (i.e., coenzyme Q10 and cytochrome c) required for the communication between complexes. The electron transport chain is coupled to proton transfer from the matrix out to the intermembrane space, thereby generating a proton gradient which is then used by ATP synthases to synthesize ATP.
Determine whether each statement describes mitosis, melosis, or both mitosis and melosis.
Answer:
This question is incomplete as it lacks statements, the statements and the answers are as follows:
occurs in organisms that sexually reproduce - MEIOSIS
occurs during growth and development - MITOSIS
the DNA is replicated - MITOSIS AND MEIOSIS
occurs in all organisms - MITOSIS
the number of chromosomes remains the same - MITOSIS
the number of chromosomes reduces by half - MEIOSIS
Explanation:
Meiosis and mitosis are both types of cellular divisions that occur in living cells. Mitosis involves the formation of two (2) daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell while meiosis involves the formation of four (4) daughter cells that are genetically different from the parent cell.
The following are characteristics of the two division processes based on this question:
MITOSIS:
- It occurs during growth and development of an organism.
- it involves DNA replication
- it occurs in all organisms since every living organism undergoes growth and development.
- the number of chromosomes after mitosis remains the same in the daughter cell i.e. 2n remains 2n
MEIOSIS:
- It occurs only in organisms that sexually reproduce.
- it also involves the replication of DNA
- The number of chromosomes in the daughter cells is reduced by half i.e. 2n to n.

five characteristics of harmattan
The Harmattan is a season in West Africa, which occurs between the end of November and the middle of March. It is characterized by the dry and dusty northeasterly trade wind, of the same name, which blows from the Sahara Desert over West Africa into the Gulf of Guinea.[1] The name is related to the word haramata in the Twi language.[2] The temperature is cold in most places, but can also be hot in certain places, depending on local circumstances.[3]

In this season the subtropical ridge of high pressure stays over the central Sahara Desert and the low-pressure Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) stays over the Gulf of Guinea. On its passage over the Sahara, the harmattan picks up fine dust and sand particles (between 0.5 and 10 microns). It is also known as the "doctor wind", because of its invigorating dryness compared with humid tropical air.

Harmattan is a season in west Africa.
2. Which types of halogen compounds are known to contribute to ozone depletion?
O A. Chlorofluorocarbons
O B. Salts
O C. Alkali metals
O D. Oxides
Answer:
A. Chlorofluorocarbons
Explanation: short answer
Answer:
A. Chlorofluorocarbons
Explanation:
Halogens are a chemical family containing fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine; any carbon compound containing them is known as a halocarbon. While all halogens have the ability to catalyze ozone breakdown, they have an unequal impact on the ozone layer. A catalyst is a compound which can alter the rate of a reaction without permently being altered by that reaction, and so can react over and over again. In this fashion it is estimated that one molecule of chlorine can degrade over 100,000 molecules of ozone before it is removed from the stratosphere or becomes part of an inactive compound. These inactive compounds, for example ClONO2, are collectively called 'resevoirs'. They hold chlorine in an inactive form but can release an active chlorine when struck by sunlight. The relative potency of the different halogens depends a great deal on the stability of the resevior compounds. Hydrogen fluoride, HF, is so very stable that fluorocarbons have relatively no known impact on ozone. Bromine resevoirs, such as HBr and BrONO2, are much more easily broken up by sunlight; causing bromine to be from 10 to 100 times more effective than chlorine at destroying ozone. From 30-60% of bromocarbons released to the atmosphere are man-made (methyl bromide fumigants and halon fire extinguishers) and both compounds will soon be restricted by international agreement.

An organism that creates its own food is called:
A) a producer
B)a consumer
C)a carnivore
D) a decomposer
Answer:
a
Explanation:
Answer:
An autotroph is an organism that can produce its own food using light, water, carbon dioxide, or other chemicals. Because autotrophs produce their own food, they are sometimes called producers.Organisms are characterized into two broad categories based upon how they obtain their energy and nutrients: autotrophs and heterotrophs. Autotrophs are known as producers because they are able to make their own food from raw materials and energy. Examples include plants, algae, and some types of bacteria.

Which two organs of a plant interact to cause seedlings to grow upward
There's tropism and stimulus, for starters. Gravity, light, and touch can all be used as stimuli. So it is debatable... If the plant is reaching upwards towards a window that is above it... It would then be light, and the plant's response would be to reach upward.
Hope this helps and if it does, don't be afraid to give my answer a "Thanks" and maybe a Brainliest?

Write down a mechanism for increasing genetic variation in BOTH eukaryotes and prokaryotes.
Answer:
Genetic variation mechanisms are different in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, Transformation, transduction, and conjugation in prokaryotes whereas crossing over, random assortment, and random fertilization in eukaryotes.
Prokaryotes:
Prokaryotic cells can lead to genetic variation by recombining their genetic material. In prokaryotes, horizontal gene transfer (HGT), in which gene transfer from one organism to another in the same generation. The three most common ways of HGT are transformation, conjugation, and transduction.
Eukaryotes:
Eukaryotic organisms can perform either sexual and asexual or both reproduction in which they are able to transfer genetic material (DNA) to their offsprings. Such transfer of genetic material process is called vertical gene transfer. In sexually reproducing organisms, independent assortment during zygote formation, a mutation in genes, and crossing over during prophase 1 in meiosis is the process that increases the chances of genetic variation.
Estimate the sum of the masses: 56.9kg, 43.9kg, 60.5kg, 29.8kg
Answer:
191.1 kg.
Explanation:
The total mass of all these objects can be determined by adding all the masses present in the question. 191.1 kg is the value of total masses when the given masses such as 56.9kg, 43.9kg, 60.5kg and 29.8kg are added with each other. This value is considered as the total sum of all masses so we can say that the total value is obtained after all the masses are combine or added together.

. Why is Gandhi giving advice or comfort to Dr. King in this cartoon?
Answer:
Explanation:
Gandhi who was assassinated about 20 years before King, is telling King all that happens when they kill your body is that what you have stood for and what you have left behind for your followers lives long after your death. Not to worry is the message: all will come out well when the methods you have used sink in to the leaders and followers you have left behind.
All that happens is that those who oppose you enough to kill you will think you are dead: you are not. Your legacy becomes stronger and stronger.

Natural selection was acting on the population of radish plants. Which of the following DOES NOT satisfy a condition of natural selection as it relates to our radish populations?
a. there was a purple phenotype and a white phenotype
b. the R allele produced a white plant, and rr produced purple plants
c. competition was affecting the reproductive success of at least one of the morphs
d. our populations of radishes were small
e. all of the above are examples of conditions necessary and sufficient for evolution by natural selection
Answer:
d. our populations of radishes were small
Explanation:
Natural selection is a type of evolution that allows only individuals with favorable characteristics and better adapted to the environment to survive and reproduce offspring with the same favorable characteristics. In this case, to observe a population where natural selection is taking place, population sizes can be disregarded, as this is not a condition for natural selection to take place. However, the other conditions presented in the response options are necessary for natural selection, since it is necessary that there are different phenotypes and genotypes in the population and that competition between them promotes the survival of one group at the expense of the other.

When comparing energy and chemicals in an ecosystem?
Answer:
Chemical nutrients and energy tend to flow in the same direction for most of an ecosystem. The big difference is that the chemical nutrients are ultimately recycled in the ecosystem while the energy is ultimately lost from the ecosystem to the universe at large. Energy in any ecosystem ultimately comes from the Sun.
What is the answer for this
Answer:
Carbon moves from living things to the atmosphere. Each time you exhale, you are releasing carbon dioxide gas (CO2) into the atmosphere. Animals and plants need to get rid of carbon dioxide gas through a process called respiration. Carbon moves from fossil fuels to the atmosphere when fuels are burned.
