Answer:

B) FADH2 -- FMN of Complex I -- Fe-S of Complex II -- Q -- Fe-S of Complex III -- Cyt c -- Cyt a of Complex IV -- O2

Explanation:

FADH2 and NADH give their high energy electrons to the terminal electron acceptor molecular oxygen via an electron transport chain. As the electrons move through electron carriers of the electron transport chain, they lose their free energy. Part of the free energy of the electrons is used to pump the protons from the matrix into the intermembrane space. Therefore, part of the energy of electrons is temporarily stored in the form of a proton concentration gradient.

NADH gives its electrons to FMN of complex I while FADH2 gives its electrons to the Fe-S center of complex II. Both the complexes are oxidized by coenzyme (Q) which in turn reduces Fe-S centers of complex III. Cyt c of complex IV obtains electrons from complex III and passes them to CuA center, to heme "a" to heme "a3-CuB center" and finally to the molecular oxygen.

So, the compounds arranged with respect to the energy content of electrons in descending order are as follows: FADH2 -- FMN of Complex I -- Fe-S of Complex II -- Q -- Fe-S of Complex III -- Cyt c -- Cyt a of Complex IV -- O2.

What are the similarities and differences between diffusion and active transport?
Shalnov [3]
Both use ion channels to move ions across the cell membrane, in or out of the cell. Differences: Passive Transport (or Diffusion) moves ions from high concentration to low, using no metabolic energy. Active Transport moves ions from low concentration to high, using metabolic energy in the form of ATP.

in a phylogeny, information about relatedness is portrayed by the pattern of branching, not by the order of taxa at the tips of
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

On a phylogeny, the number of nodes separating two taxa indicates how closely related they are.

<h3>What are taxa ?</h3>

A given taxon typically includes several taxa of lower rank. Taxa are arranged in a hierarchy from kingdom to subspecies. Certain taxonomic categories, which are listed in descending order and include kingdom, phylum (in plants, division), class, order, family, genus, species, and subspecies or race, are universally accepted for the classification of protists, plants, and animals.

Kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species are the orderly groups, going from largest to smallest. 2. Each level is referred to as a taxon (plural: taxa) or taxonomic category in taxonomic nomenclature.

Gymnosperms have cones, they’re sporophytes, so they’re capable of producing spores, they do reproduce by pollination and they’re vascular :)
