Ovulation is the process in which eggs are released from the ovary.
<h2>Cell Cycle
</h2>
Explanation:
Eukaryotes grow and divide by cell cycle.
The main parts of a cell cycle are an ordered series of events – Gap 1 or G1 phase, Synthesis or S phase, Gap 2 or G2 phase, and the mitosis or M phases.
Interphase period (G1, S, G2 phases) - cell grows by size, duplicates its content, replicates its DNA, and finally prepares for mitotic cell division
.
Mitosis and cytokinesis - formation of two identical daughter cells
Cell cycle is regulated by regulatory or restrictive checkpoints in the cell cycle which are activated with detection of a defective DNA.
Proliferation of undesired or cells with defective DNA like in case of tumor cells is controlled by the action of suppressing agents like p53 and cyclins.
The tumor suppressor gene protein p53 prohibits division of tumor cells. Cyclins regulate cell cycle by activation of the enzyme cyclin-dependent kinase.
Answer:
Each FADH2 yields about 1.5 ATP via oxidative phosphorylation.
Explanation:
Most of the ATP molecules are produced by oxidative phosphorylation, not by substrate-level phosphorylation. During glycolysis, 2 ATP molecules per glucose are produced by substrate-level phosphorylation. Similarly, Kreb's cycle also yields 2 ATP per glucose by substrate-level phosphorylation.
For each pair of electrons transferred to O2 from FADH2 via electron transport chain, 4 and 2 protons are pumped from matrix towards the intermembrane space by complex III and complex IV respectively. It generates the proton concentration gradient required to drive the synthesis of 1.5 ATP molecules. Since oxidation of FADH2 is coupled to the phosphorylation of ADP to form ATP, the process is called oxidative phosphorylation.
