Answer:
A) 6
Explanation:
Complex III of the electron transport chain transfers four protons across the membrane during aerobic respiration, per pair of electrons. In the other hand, complex IV is responsible for transporting two protons (per pair of electrons) across the membrane.
If the given compound injects a pair of electron into complex III, four protons will accumulated due to complex III activity and then two more protons as these electrons move forward to complex IV. This means a total of 6 protons being transported to intermembrane space.
-carbohydrates contain carbon , hydrogen and oxygen
-also known as saccharides
-glucose is a hexose monosaccharide (composed of 6 carbons )
-two structural variations: alpha α and beta β glucose ,in which the OH group on carbon 1 is in opposite positions
- glucose : polar and soluble in water due to the bonds that form between the hydroxyl groups and water molecules
-glycosidic bond : bond formed between two glucose molecules by a condensation reaction forming a disaccharide
-fructose +galactose =sucrose
-galactose +glucose = lactose
- starch :many alpha glucose molecules can be joined by glycosidic bonds to form two slightly different polysaccharides
- one of the polysaccharides of starch is called amylose
- amylose : formed by alpha glucose molecules joined together only by 1-4 glycosidic bonds
-amylopectin: both 1-4 and 1-6 (every 25 glucose subunits )glycosidic bonds between alpha glucose molecules. 1-6 glycosidic bonds cause branching
-glycogen : more branches than amylopectin . Compact so ideal for storage . Speeds up the process of storing and releasing glucose molecules required in the cell.Insoluble
-hydrolysis reactions opposite of condensation reaction
-cellulose:beta glucose molecules. Join together by alternate beta glucose molecules turn upside down
- straight chain molecule: cellulose
-cellulose molecules make H bonds with each-other forming microfibrils. Microfibrils join together to form macrofibrils which combine to produce fibres
Answer:
Plants capturing light energy to form simple sugars using water and carbon dioxide is called
photosynthesis
