1 Cholinesterase inhibitor toxicity is due to a decrease in the ability of cholinesterase to breakdown acetylcholine which results in excessively high acetylcholine levels. 2  Cholinesterase inhibitors fall into two classes, organophosphorus compounds, and carbamates.ow Acetylcholine is Blocked (Optional Reading). Figure 2 below shows how a cholinesterase inhibitor (in this case, a nerve agent) attaches to the serine hydroxyl group on acetylcholinesterase.
(Âµm micrometers) A single mitochondrion- 0.2-1 Âµm wide x3-10 Âµm long (can differ very much depending on the cell) Chloroplasts - 3 Âµm wide x 5 Âµm long As you can see mitochondria can often be bigger than bacteria cells... and viruses are way smaller then bacteria!Âµm micrometers) A single mitochondrion- 0.2-1 Âµm wide x3-10 Âµm long (can differ very much depending on the cell) Chloroplasts - 3 Âµm wide x 5 Âµm long As you can see mitochondria can often be bigger than bacteria cells... and viruses are way smaller then bacteria!
As with the mitochondrion, a bacterial ATPase lets protons (under the protonmotive force) into the cytoplasm, using them to make ATP. So, though they don't have mitochondria, bacteria can generate energy through glycolysis and by generating a proton gradient across their cell membranes! Unlike mitochondria, some bacteria can use light to generate a proton gradient, and therefore ATP. You can find out more about these topics by reading a good college-level biochemistry textbook, like Biochemistry by L. Stryer.
