The electron transport chain (etc) pump protons out of the mitochondrial matrix and into the space between the membranes because the electrons are passed to oxygen, which combines with protons to form water

<h3>What is mitochondrial matrix ?</h3>

The tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, a chain of metabolic events started when pyruvate and fatty acids are converted to acetyl coenzyme A, takes place in the mitochondrial matrix (acetyl-CoA). Membrane-bound permeases move pyruvate and fatty acids from the cytoplasm into mitochondria.

<h3>What is electron transport chain?</h3>

A succession of protein complexes and other molecules form an electron transport chain when they work together to transmit protons across a membrane while also transferring electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors via redox processes. Several proteins are found in the mitochondria's inner membrane.

Which descriptions apply to a chloroplast?
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer: (A) a membrane‑bound organelle with stacks of thylakoid discs called grana.

(E) the main site of photosynthesis in a plant cell.

Explanation:

The plant chloroplast is a large organelle, it is bounded by a double membrane like structure that is chloroplast envelop.

The chloroplast consists of chlorophyll pigment which traps the light energy from sun and converts it into chemical energy in the form of ATP. Thus the chloroplast is the main site for photosynthesis. Including the inner and outer membrane structure it also posses the third internal membrane structure which is called as the thylakoid membrane. The thylakoid membrane forms the network of flat discs which are called as thylakoids, the thylakoids are arranged in stacks which are called as grana.

The thylakoid membrane is the center point for the synthesis of ATP through a chemiosmotic process.

Which of these physical factors most shapes the characteristics of a ecosystem? A) soil type B) longitude C) temperature and rai
Nezavi [6.7K]
I believe it is temperature or rainfall. All of the factors are improtant but temperature comes first, cuz the temperature can also determine the air, and soil doesn't make a difference. Longitude doesn't have to do with an ecosystem.

Scientists have successfully cloned animals, including mammals such as sheep. Which statement provides the most likely reason th
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

4) Some people consider human genetic experiments

unethical.

Explanation:

1) Humans have DNA that is structurally very different from

other mammals.

2) Cloning can only he performed on animals that normally

reproduce asexually.

3) Human genes are made of too many different types of

simple sugars.

4) Some people consider human genetic experiments

unethical.

The statement that provides the most likely reason that a human has not yet been cloned is that some people consider human genetic experiment unethical.

<em>Option 1 is incorrect because human DNA is similar in structure to other living organisms with components such as a phosphate group, a deoxyribose sugar and purine/pyrimidine bases.</em>

<em>Option 2 is incorrect because cloning is not limited to asexually reproducing organisms only. Sheep, for example, produces only sexually and has been successfully been cloned.</em>

<em>Option 3 is incorrect because human genes, just like every other organisms is consist of DNA with deoxyribose pentose sugar being one of the components. The situation of too many different types of simple sugars doe not arise.</em>

The correct option is 4.
