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.

Joe, a hiker, stands at the top of a hill on a trail above the ocean. Joe's friend Dave is just starting out at the trailhead, w
Rashid [163]

Answer: 1, 2, 4 are accurate.

Explanation:

1. Joe is on a hill (on a trail) above the ocean. The beach and ocean are at similar altitudes. Therefore Joe is at a higher altitude than if he was at the beach.

2. Since Joe is on a hill, he has a higher altitude than at sea level. Air at a higher altitude has lower density because there is less air "ontop" of itself than at lower altitudes. As well, his hill is above the ocean, which means there is a lot of water, making the air more humid than where he is. Humidity also makes air denser.

4.The air pressure will decrease if Joe goes up to higher altitudes because there will be less air on top of itself.

How are currents in the Pacific Ocean affected by El Niño?
mylen [45]

The answer is; Warm water moves to the east instead of to the west


Normally, when the waters in the Pacific warm up, the prevailing winds that blow from east to west drag the warm surface currents westwards and upwelling of cold currents occur at the west coast of South America. However, in El Nino, the Pacific ocean waters heat more than usual. The prevailing winds weaken and begin to blow predominantly towards the east. The warm currents are therefore dragged to the east and cause torrential rains in Western coast South Americas.
