1 answer:

6 0

A mutation can allow a organism to adapt to the environment and example can be the case of the peppered moth which has two variations a white colored one and a black colored one. The white colored ones were able to survive better that the darker ones because of how they were able to camouflage with the lichen located in the trees. However, after a while smoke particles that were released by industries darkened the trunk of the trees making the white moths visible and allowing the darker colored ones to survive. Another example can be on how organism can be resistant to bacteria this allows the animal to survive and reproduce offspring with the same mutation. I hope this helps...

Which of the following events takes place in the electron transport chain?A) the breakdown of glucose into two pyruvate molecule

castortr0y [4]

The correct answer is: C) the extraction of energy from high-energy electrons remaining from glycolysis and the citric acid cycle

Electrons from electron carriers (NADH and FADH from glycolysis and citric acid cycle) donate electrons to the electron transport chain and that causes changes in protein complexes of electron transport chain. As a consequence, protein complexes pump H+ across a selectively permeable cell membrane from the mitochondrial matrix into the intermembrane space of mitochondria. H+ can only get back and pass through the inner mitochondrial membrane with the help of ATP synthase (down their electrochemical gradient). ATP synthase turned by the force of the H+ diffusing through it forms ATP by adding a phosphate to ADP. This type of ATP synthesis is called oxidative phosphorylation and it is based on chemiosmosis-movement of ions across a selectively permeable membrane.
