What else can I help you with?
Can you find free living mitochondrion today?
No, free-living mitochondria are not found in nature today. Mitochondria likely evolved from ancient bacteria that formed a symbiotic relationship with eukaryotic cells. Over time, they became an essential organelle within eukaryotic cells.
Which type of cells do you imagine would have the most mitochondria?
Cells that require a lot of energy, such as muscle cells or cells in the heart, would likely have the most mitochondria.
Abnormal mitochondria are likely to be correlaated with a disturbance of what in the cell?
Abnormal mitochondria are likely to be correlated with a disturbance in cellular energy production, as the mitochondria play a key role in generating energy in the form of ATP through oxidative phosphorylation. When mitochondria are dysfunctional, it can lead to a decrease in ATP production and various cellular processes may be affected, causing issues in cell function and overall health.
A cell's ability to replenish its ATP stores has been diminished by a metabolic poison What organelle is most likely to be affected?
The mitochondria is most likely to be affected since it is the main organelle responsible for generating ATP through cellular respiration. If the cell's ability to replenish ATP is diminished, then the mitochondria may be impaired in its function.
Compared to a skin cell a muscle cell is likely to have more?
A muscle cell is likely to have more mitochondria to support its energy demands for contraction, more myofibrils for muscle function, and a well-developed network of sarcoplasmic reticulum to regulate calcium levels for muscle contractions.
What will most likely happen if a toxin causes the hydrogen ion pump to stop moving H ions outside the mitochondrial membranes of the bird's cells?
Then there will be no build up of protons in the outer lumpen of the mitochondria. Without a heavy concentration of hydrogen ions ( protons ) there there will be no moment of hydrogen ions down their concentration gradient through the ATPase pump and no ATP generated.
What will mostly happen if a toxin causes the hydrogen ion pump to stop moving H plus ions outside the mitochondrial membranes of the birds cells?
If a toxin stops the movement of hydrogen ions outside the mitochondrial membranes of a bird's cells, it would likely disrupt the process of oxidative phosphorylation and ATP production in the mitochondria. This could lead to a decrease in energy production, impacting various cellular functions and potentially causing cell damage or death.
What will most likely happen if a toxin causes the hydrogen ion pump to stop moving h plus ions outside the mitochondrial?
No ATP production. Remember, the hydrogen ions pumped into the intermembrane space need to come down their concentration gradient through the ATP synthase to power ATP synthesis. No hydrogen ion buildup, no ATP synthesis.
What will most likely happen if a toxin causes the hydrogen ion to stop moving H ions outside the mitochondrial membranes of the birds cell?
The bird will stop flying because it will quickly use up its remaining energy
In a hydrogen ion pump the energy is used to join small molecules together to make larger ones which factor is most likely has the greatest effect of the number of molecules mitochondria can produce?
the amount of energy the flowing H+ ions have

In a hydrogen ion pump the energy is used to join small molecules together to make larger ones. Which factor most likely has the greatest effect on the number of molecules mitochondria can produce?
The rate of hydrogen ion movement across the pump is the factor that most likely has the greatest effect on the number of molecules mitochondria can produce. This movement drives the synthesis of ATP, which is essential for the formation of larger molecules in cellular processes. The higher the rate of hydrogen ion movement, the more ATP can be generated, leading to increased production of molecules in the mitochondria.
