Answer:
Components of the electron transport chain (ordered by electronegativity from least electronegative to most electronegative):
NADH dehydrogenase >> Coenzyme Q >> Cytochrome b-c1 complex >> Cytochrome c >> Cytochrome oxidase complex > O2
Explanation:
The electron transport chain transfers electrons from donors to acceptors via redox reactions (i.e., where reduction and oxidation occur together), and couples the transfer of electrons with proton transfer (H+ ions) across the membrane. In the electron transport chain, the electrons are transferred from NADH dehydrogenase NADH to oxygen (O2) through a series of transmembrane complexes: NADH-Q oxidoreductase, Q-cytochrome c oxidoreductase and cytochrome c oxidase. In the first place, the reduced form of coenzyme Q (ubiquinone) transports the electrons from the NADH-Q oxidoreductase to the Q-cytochrome c oxidoreductase complex (Cytochrome b-c1 complex). Second, the cytochrome c transports the electrons from this complex (i.e., Cytochrome b-c1 complex) to the Cytochrome oxidase complex, this being the last component in the electron transport chain that is responsible to catalyze the reduction of O2.
Carbohydrates are used by the body for energy and structural support in cell walls of plants and exoskeletons of insects and crustaceans.
Answer:
The muscular system
Explanation:
The muscular system is a set of muscles that can be controlled voluntarily by a living organism (skeletal muscles) Its main function is to achieve mobility, an action that takes place when electrical stimuli from the nervous system cause the contraction of muscle fibers . Muscles that contract automatically such as heart muscle or smooth muscles are not usually considered part of the muscular system. The whole skeletal musculature corresponds to approximately 40% of the weight of an adult man. The sum of the muscular system plus the bone system formed by the bones gives rise to the musculoskeletal system.
