I think the correct term to fill in the blanks would be glycerol phosphate electron shuttle. This shuttle is responsible of transporting agents that are reducing into the inner membrane of the mitochondria. Since NADH cannot enter, it is reduced so that the electrons could go in to the transport chain.
Answer:
Transport of tidal waves and currents
George Monbiot is spearheading the Rewilding Movement. The environmentalist and writer is prominent in the platform. He was featured in TED Talk and talked about a large scale conservation approach aiming to restore the lost habitats. Here is an excerpt of his speech where he discusses the lost megafuna:
"What megafauna, you say? Well, every continent had one, apart from Antarctica. When Trafalgar Square in London was excavated, the river gravels there were found to be stuffed with the bones of hippopotamus, rhinos, elephants, hyenas, lions. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, there were lions in Trafalgar Square long before Nelson's Column was built. All these species lived here in the last interglacial period, when temperatures were pretty similar to our own. It's not climate, largely, which has got rid of the world's megafaunas. It's pressure from the human population hunting and destroying their habitats which has done so."
Answer:
The correct answer is: <em>C. Increased average lifespan to 78 in the US.</em>
Explanation:
Science has impacted human health by increasing the average lifespan to 78 in the US. Over the last couple of decades, the life expectancy of Americans has increased significantly than what it was 200 years ago. This can be attributed to:
1. Vaccinations- Since the invention of vaccinations, diseases such as tuberculosis, cholera and polio which were major causes of death 200 years ago have virtually been eradicated in the US.
2. Abundant and safer foods available- Commercial and large scale farming has made a wide variety of nutritious foods easier to obtain.
3. Improved sanitation- Safer drinking water, sewage treatment and stricter food inspection has significantly reduced the rate of illnesses due to poor hygiene and sanitation.
In these ways, science has impacted human health by increasing the average lifespan to 78 in the US.
