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.

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

In the case of cardiovascular diseases, the main causes are sedentary lifestyle, stress, nutrition (consumption of junk food and low consumption of high-fiber foods), diabetes, high blood pressure, overweight. In the case of poor nutrition, it happens that the increase in cholesterol that we call "bad" LDL occurs and the "good" HDL cholesterol that is protective and sweeps the bad that covers the blood vessels is not increased. Taking into account diabetes, the excess glucose produced in the body, glycosylates the LDL particle, which also obstructs the passage of blood flow through the vessels.
