My doctor told me that birth control pills contain small amounts of estrogen and progesterone, and these hormones prevent me fro

m ovulating. I assume that it has something to do with the levels of the gonadotropins that I asked about earlier. Can you explain this to me?

Ok... This is a bit complicated but bear with me. In a female's body Estrogen and Progesterone are two of the major used to maintain the menstruation cycle. Gonadotrophic substances are an entirely different topic with it being the hormones FSH and LH (These hormones are released while an egg is in development in the ovaries). 

Without going into even deeper specifics. Estrogen is used by the body signal to ovulate, as well as thicken the uterine walls... Progesterone is used to maintain the uterine walls "after" the egg is fertilized. What the pill is suppose to do is actually force a premature ovulation, which is why there is estrogen. The Progesterone's job as is maintain the uterine wall's endometrium to a low level and helps keep blood loss from a period at a minimum. 

If you need clarification please feel free to question.

The reduced coenzymes generated by the citric acid cycle donate electrons in a series of reactions called the electron transport
Julli [10]

The reduced coenzymes generated by the citric acid cycle donate electrons in a series of reactions called the electron transport chain. The answers are as;

a) 1. NADH and 7. FADH2

b) 6. O2

c) 3. NAD+, 1. H2O, 4. ATP and 8. FAD

Oxygen is the ultimate electron acceptor, and it combines with hydrogen ions to produce H2O. This process occurs at the conclusion of the electron transport process.

ATP molecules, which are carriers of energy, would be the final outcome of the oxidative phosphorylation process.

(a) NADH and FADH2 donate electrons to the electron transport chain.

(b) O2 is the final electron acceptor.

(c)  NAD+,  H2O,  ATP, and  FAD are the final products of the electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation.

You can also learn about oxidative phosphorylation from the following question:
