In cellular respiration, a series of molecules forming an electron transport chain alternately accepts and then donates electron

s. What is the advantage of such an electron transport chain? A scheme of cellular respiration. The initial compounds are 2H obtained from food via NADH and half of O2. 2H transforms into 2H plus and 2 electrons. These products have lower free energy than 2H and half of O2. Electrons lose their free energy in the electron transport chain. This energy is used for ATP synthesis. 2H plus and half of O2 lose their free energy and react with two electrons from the electron transport chain to create a water molecule that has less free energy than all the reactants.

Answer:

Release of electrons from reducing powers to O2 via four protein complexes allows release of small amount of energy at each step and makes the process energy efficient.

Explanation:

If NADH and FADH2 would reduce O2 directly, a large amount of energy would have been released in a single step. On the other hand, oxidation of these reducing powers through a series of electron carrier release a small amount of energy at each step which in turn is temporarily stored in form of proton motive force across the inner mitochondrial membrane.

Transfer of a pair of the electron to O2 pumps four protons by complex I, four by complex III and two by complex IV. The resultant proton motive force effectively stores the energy of electron transfer. This energy is then used to drive ATP synthesis.

Within a given species, which two types of cells have the equivalent amounts of dna?
kiruha [24]
The original question has a set of choices. This is within the context of cell division. The choices are:

A. A cell in G1 of interphase and a cell in G2 of interphase
B. A cell in G1 of interphase and a cell immediately after the completion of meiosis II
C. A cell in G1 of interphase and a cell in metaphase II of meiosis
D. A cell in G2 of interphase and a cell in metaphase II of meiosis
<span>E. None of the above.
</span>
The correct answer is C. A cell in G1 is diploid and the cell in meiosis II is haploid but the amount of DNA still equivalent as each chromosome in the haploid cell consists of two chromatids. G2 cells already had been through the S phase therefore the genetic material is already doubled. A cell immediately after meiosis II has half the genetic material.

What arteries do the highlighted vessels branch into? what arteries do the highlighted vessels branch into? segmental renal cort
Soloha48 [4]

The highlighted vessels branch into arcuate arteries.

Arcuate arteries- The interlobar arteries bend over to produce imperfect arches at the point where the cortex and medulla meet. The arcuate artery is the name given to this portion of the blood supply as a result. The arcuate artery divides into several tiny radial arteries, which diverge at right angles and provide blood to the cortex.

Vessels- In the blood, vessels (canals) move waste away from organs and tissues and carry nutrients to those tissues. The vasculature's participation in oxygenating the organism serves as one of its main functions and important roles.
