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.
Answer:
Dry air is a mechanical mixture of nitrogen, oxygen, argon and several other gases in minor amounts.
Explanation:
Plants absorbs inorganic ions such as carbon dioxide by the process of gas exchange and water by the process of osmosis which converts into glucose and oxygen in the presense of sunlight and chlorophyll.Light is absorbed by the chlorophlasts present in green leaves.
<span>Fireflies
use the bioluminescence to attract mates for mating hence key in reproduction.
Therefore, beetles from different species should have different lighting
patterns so that they can only attract mates of the same species. This would
avoid interspecies mating which would probably involved expending energy in
produce nonviable offspring which is inefficient (hence will be unfavoured
natural selection). </span>
