In the electron transport system

Answer:

A. NADH and FADH2 both donate electrons at the same location.

Explanation:

In the respiratory chain, four large protein complexes inserted into the mitochondrial inner membrane transport NADH and FADH₂ electrons (formed in glycolysis and the Krebs cycle) to oxygen gas, reducing them to NAD⁺ and FAD, respectively.

These electrons have great affinity for oxygen gas and, when combined with it, reduce it to water molecules at the end of the reaction.

Oxygen gas effectively participates in cellular respiration at this stage, so its absence would imply interruption of the process.

NADH and FADH₂ electrons, when attracted to oxygen, travel a path through protein complexes, releasing energy in this process.

The energy released by the NADH and FADH₂ electrons in the respiratory chain in theory yields <u>34</u> <u>ATP</u>, however, under normal conditions an average of 26 ATP molecules is formed.

If we consider that these 26 molecules are added to the two ATP formed in glycolysis and two ATP formed in the Krebs cycle, it can be said that cellular respiration reaches a maximum yield of 30 ATP per glucose molecule, although theoretically this number was 38 ATP per glucose molecule.

NemiM [27]

If Polaris were to go supernova today, no one currently on Earth ever know it happened because it would take 434 light years to reach the Earth

Explanation:

The Polaris or the North Star that we can see at the North Pole of the Earth in the night historically dates back to 434 years in the past. If the Polaris becomes a supernova or if it dies now, it will take 434 years in the future from now to know about it.

This is simply because ‘one light year is the distance traveled by light in one year’. Hence currently, one cannot know about what happened to the Polaris supernova even if it happens now.

In what way are elements in the same column of the periodic table the same
Mnenie [13.5K]
1) they have similar chemical properties.
for example fluorine from the 17th column is a non metal so does all the elements of that group.
2)they have same valence electrons in their outermost shell
example
electronic configuration of
hydrogen 1, lithium 2,1, sodium 2,8,1 and so on.
3) have same valency.
