1) <span>The function of the electron transport chain is to pump protons in the mitochondrion inter-membrane, thus building up a proton gradient. This gradient will allow the ATP syntheses</span><span>.</span>

2) Why we need oxygen for the electron transport chain:
 At the end of the electron transport chain is the Oxygen that will accept electrons and picks up protons to form water. If the oxygen molecule is not there the electron transport chain will stop running, and ATP will no longer be produced. Basically, we need the oxygen to produce more ATP.

A cat with a mass of 4.50 kilograms sits on a ledge 0.800 meters above the ground. What is the potential energy of the cat? 346
Gennadij [26K]
This is a question about converting energy from one form to another. 

<span>While it is sitting on the ledge, it isn't moving, so at that point it doesn't have any kinetic energy. What it has is gravitational potential energy due to its height above the ground. </span>

<span>Just as it lands, it's at ground level, so it doesn't have any gravitational potential energy anymore. </span>

<span>The reason is that on the way down, it sped up, so all its original gravitational potential energy was turned into kinetic energy. </span>

<span>So if you can work out how much potential energy it had to start with, you will know that that is how much kinetic energy it ended up with just before it landed. </span>

<span>potential energy = m * g * h </span>
<span>where m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is the height </span>

potential energy = 4.45 * 9.81 * 0.800 = 35.3 J 
Hope that helps. Please give me Brainlyest answer. :]

Calculate the specific heat of a metal from the following data. A container made of the metal has a mass of 3.8 kg and contains
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

C = 771.35 J/kg°C

Explanation:

Here, e consider the conservation of energy equation. The conservation of energy principle states that:

Heat Given by Metal Piece = Heat Absorbed by Water + Heat Absorbed by Container

Since,

Heat Given or Absorbed by a material = m C ΔT

Therefore,

m₁CΔT₁ = m₂CΔT₂ + m₃C₃ΔT₃

where,

m₁ = Mass of Metal Piece = 2.3 kg

C = Specific Heat of Metal = ?

ΔT₁ = Change in temperature of metal piece = 165°C - 18°C = 147°C

m₂ = Mass of Metal Container = 3.8 kg

ΔT₂ = Change in temperature of metal piece = 18°C - 15°C = 3°C

m₃ = Mass of Water = 20 kg

C₃ = Specific Heat of Water = 4200 J/kg°C

ΔT₃ = Change in temperature of water = 18°C - 15°C = 3°C

Therefore,

(2.3 kg)(C)(147°C) = (3.8 kg)(C)(3°C) + (20 kg)(4186 J/kg°C)(3°C)

C[(2.3 kg)(147°C) - (3.8 kg)(3°C)] = 252000 J

C = 252000 J/326.7 kg°C

<u>C = 771.35 J/kg°C</u>
