Homeostasis is the state of maintaining a stable environment despite changing conditions. True or False

Biology

<h2>Homeostasis </h2>

Explanation:

Homeostasis is the tendency to resist change in order to maintain a stable, relatively constant internal environment

The body maintains homeostasis for many factors in addition to temperature, for example, the concentration of various ions in the blood is kept steady along with pH and the concentration of glucose, if these values get too high or low, one can end up getting very sick

The stomach maintains a pH that's different from that of surrounding organs, and each individual cell maintains ion concentrations different from those of the surrounding fluid

Maintaining homeostasis at each level is key to maintain the body's overall function

Which of the following sequences is correct for the downhill movement of electrons during cellular respiration? A. glucose – cit
Volgvan

Answer:

B. glucose – NADH – electron transport – O2

Explanation:

This is the sequence  from glycolysis in which  glucose molecules are split down to pyruvate, to oxidative phosphorylation.

During this process the electrons are released from glucose  molecule as it is oxidised multiple times as pyruvate, and other molecules formed subsequently in Kreb's cycle, until the oxidative phosphorylation is reached .

The makes the  carrier molecules to be reduced.Thus NAD→NADH,FAD→FADH .

The electrons from above are  transferred in hydrogen atoms  to matrix by these co-enzymes.Where the H is split to electrons  and protons.

The electrons for the ETC, produce the PMF for transporting  protons into the intramembrane space.

The concentration of protons generated the electrochemical gradients  which is needed to produce energy for for phosphorylation of ADP with Pi to form ATP by ATpase synthase.

The electrons moves as chain,and this is finally accepted by oxygen as the final electron acceptor.

What are the final electron acceptor in electron transport chain?
belka [17]


In aerobic respiration, the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain  is oxygen.  It accepts two electrons and a molecule of water is formed as a by product.

In anaerobic respiration, the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain is pyruvate.  Anaerobic respiration  commonly occurs in the muscle tissue of animals as  a result of intense activity or exertion. Pyruvate is used as makeshift electron acceptor in place of oxygen and is reduced or converted to lactic acid.
