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.

Why do Earth’s crust remain the same size despite sea floor spreading?
mash [69]

Answer:

B. As new rocks are formed along mid-ocean ridges, older rocks are pushed down deep into the Earth into ocean trenches.

<h2>Why is the Earth not getting larger if the sea floor is slowly spreading?</h2>

Mainly due to the Atlantic experiencing seabed expansion. The sea bottom is subducting, or moving underground, in the Pacific. This is how the Earth's tectonic plates and geological activities function. The top side of the mantle travels to the bottom at one end and to the top at the other, similar to a conveyor belt. This explains why there are volcanoes, why continents drift, and why our planet's surface is continually changing over the span of millions of years.

Therefore, the planet is not getting bigger because its surface is constantly recycling itself.
