{4 What components constitute the protonmotive force (pmF) essential for ATP synthesis in mitochondria? | |||
|type="()"} | |||
- Only ΞpH | |||
|| ΞpH is part but not all of pmF. | |||
+ ΞΞ¨ and ΞpH | |||
|| The pmF, driving ATP synthesis, comprises both an electric component (ΞΞ¨) and a diffusive component (ΞpH). | |||
- Only ΞΞ¨ | |||
|| ΞΞ¨ alone does not fully describe pmF. | |||
- ΞΞ¨ and solute concentration | |||
|| Solute concentration isn't a direct component of pmF. | |||

|| Mitochondrial health is determined by a combination of genetics, lifestyle, and environmental influences, not solely by genetics. | |||
- True, but only in the context of mitochondrial diseases. | |||
|| While genetics are crucial in mitochondrial diseases, they're not the sole determinant of overall mitochondrial fitness. | |||
- Misleading, since mitochondrial fitness can be improved with supplements. | |||

|| H2O2 production is within its capabilities. | |||
{10 What components constitute the protonmotive force (pmF) essential for ATP synthesis in mitochondria? | |||
|type="()"} | |||
- Only ΞpH | |||
|| ΞpH is part of pmF but not sufficient on its own. | |||
+ ΞΞ¨ (mitochondrial membrane potential) and ΞpH | |||
|| These components together create the force driving ATP synthesis, highlighting the complex electrochemical gradient's role. | |||
- Only ΞΞ¨ | |||
|| ΞΞ¨ is crucial but works in conjunction with ΞpH. | |||
- ΞΞ¨ and solute concentration | |||
|| Solute concentration impacts osmotic balance but isn't a direct part of pmF. | |||
{11 High-resolution respirometry (HRR) is primarily used for what purpose? | |||
|type="()"} | |||
- Measuring cellular glucose concentration | |||
|| HRR doesn't measure glucose concentration. | |||
+ Quantitative analysis of mitochondrial respiration and function | |||

|| While HRR can inform on conditions affecting pH, its primary use isn't pH measurement. | |||
{12 Oxygen concentration impacts mitochondrial respiratory control by: | |||
|type="()"} | |||
- Directly determining the rate of glycolysis | |||
|| Glycolysis is not directly influenced by oxygen concentration in this context. | |||
- Being inversely proportional to the rate of ATP synthesis | |||
|| The relationship between oxygen concentration and ATP synthesis is not simply inversely proportional. | |||
+ Influencing exergonic and endergonic reactions in OXPHOS | |||
|| Oxygen is a critical final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, and its concentration directly influences the efficiency of oxidative phosphorylation. | |||
- Having no significant impact on mitochondrial function | |||
|| Oxygen plays a vital role in mitochondrial respiratory control. | |||
{13 The "Q-junction" in mitochondrial respiratory control serves as: | |||
|type="()"} | |||
- The site of ATP synthesis | |||

- Bypass the electron transport system | |||
|| These substrates do not bypass the ETS but are integral to its function. | |||
+ Represent substrates feeding electrons into the ETS, simulating physiological conditions | |||
|| Using NADH-linked substrates helps mimic the natural input of electrons into the mitochondrial electron transport system, reflecting physiological cellular states. | |||
- Demonstrate substrates irrelevant to mitochondrial physiology | |||
|| NADH-linked substrates are highly relevant for simulating physiological conditions. | |||
{16 The primary purpose of integrating fluorometry with high-resolution respirometry is to: | |||
|type="()"} | |||

{17 Which statement accurately describes the significance of LEAK respiration in the context of mitochondrial function? | |||
|type="()"} | |||
+ It represents the energy consumed to maintain ionic gradients in the absence of ATP synthesis. | |||
|| LEAK respiration is crucial for understanding the non-phosphorylating resting state where energy is used to counteract proton leaks, preserving ionic gradients without producing ATP. | |||
- It is the maximum respiration rate achievable by mitochondria. | |||
|| The maximum respiration rate is associated with electron transfer system (ETS) capacity, not LEAK respiration. | |||
- It denotes the respiration process exclusive to glycolytic cells. | |||
