Introns are parts of genes that do not directly code for proteins. (2)

Exons are parts of DNA that are converted into mature messenger RNA (mRNA). (6) The process by which DNA is used as a template to create mRNA is called transcription.

Of the following lists of electron transport compounds, which one lists them in order from the one containing electrons with the
notsponge [240]

Answer:

B) FADH2 -- FMN of Complex I -- Fe-S of Complex II -- Q -- Fe-S of Complex III -- Cyt c -- Cyt a of Complex IV -- O2

Explanation:

FADH2 and NADH give their high energy electrons to the terminal electron acceptor molecular oxygen via an electron transport chain. As the electrons move through electron carriers of the electron transport chain, they lose their free energy. Part of the free energy of the electrons is used to pump the protons from the matrix into the intermembrane space. Therefore, part of the energy of electrons is temporarily stored in the form of a proton concentration gradient.

NADH gives its electrons to FMN of complex I while FADH2 gives its electrons to the Fe-S center of complex II. Both the complexes are oxidized by coenzyme (Q) which in turn reduces Fe-S centers of complex III. Cyt c of complex IV obtains electrons from complex III and passes them to CuA center, to heme "a" to heme "a3-CuB center" and finally to the molecular oxygen.

So, the compounds arranged with respect to the energy content of electrons in descending order are as follows: FADH2 -- FMN of Complex I -- Fe-S of Complex II -- Q -- Fe-S of Complex III -- Cyt c -- Cyt a of Complex IV -- O2.

ELEN [110]
<h3>Answers:</h3><h2>(D) Long winged</h2>

A phenotype is the composite of an organism's visible attributes or features, such as its morphology, development, biochemical or physiological characteristics, behaviour, and products of behaviour (such as a bird's nest). A phenotype effects from the expression of an organism's genetic code, its genotype, as well as the impact of environmental factors and the communications between the two.
