Brown fat is a specialized tissue found especially in infants and hibernating mammals. brown fat mitochondria have proton channels located in their inner membranes that allow protons to flow from the intermembrane space into the mitochondrial matrix without passing through atp synthase. what does the flow of protons through these channels mean for the organism?

The energy of proton concentration gradient is dissipated as heat.

Explanation:

Brown fat mitochondria have proton channels in the inner mitochondrial membrane to facilitate the diffusion of protons from the intermembrane space into the mitochondrial matrix. Unlike the proton channels of the ATP synthase of other mitochondria, the downhill movement of protons through proton channels is not coupled with the synthesis of ATP. Rather, the energy of the proton concentration gradient is released as heat to maintain the body temperature of infants and hibernating mammals.

the answer is; comparing the frequency of collisions with and without the device

this makes the anti-collision system an independent variable and the collisions a dependent variable. if there are fewer collisions with an anti-collision system that without, then it can be stated that the system is a success. essentially, collisions under an anti-collision system are compared with the frequency of collisions by cars with the human drivers.

youre right there are
