Answer:

The reduction of the oxidized ubiquinone led to the intake of two electrons as well as two protons from water molecules, as shown in Figure 14-19. The protons are further liberated during oxidation. If there is oxidation at one side and reduction at second side of the membrane, There is the movement of one proton for every electron that moves through the membrane. Thus, the movement of electron by the oxidized ubiquinone influences the production of H+ gradient.

Prescribe how mountains change in abiotic conditions with an increase in elevations

olga55 [171]

The first famous natural scientist to determine how plants change with altitude on tall mountains was Alexander Von Humboldt and Aime Bonpland when climbing some very high volcanoes in South America like Chimborazo at well ove 20,000 feet high and they observed that different plants grow at different altitudes as altitude increases so that as the mountain was ascended the new environments of temperature, moisture,etc would become abiotic for the lower plants but acceptable for the higher elevation plants. In these cases in South America, the lower elevations had very warm temperatures and high humidity so would grow tropical plants with probably large leaves like palm trees etc. On the other hand at high elevations the temperature would be significantly decreased and probably humidity decreased too so only rugged plants like say lichens could grow. At intermediate elevations, most likely say pine trees could grow as I know they do at moderate elevations in Honduras for example.

Neveah’s mass on Earth is 79 kilograms (kg) and her weight on Earth is 110 pounds. The moon’s gravity is about 1/6 of the Earth’

mario62 [17]

Answer:

I believe the answer is A: Neveah's mass would stay the same but her weight would decrease

Explanation:

I believe its A because the moon has about 1/6 as much gravity as the Earth. So if anything, her weight would decrease, not increase like B., C., or D says. I hope this is helpful to anyone who reads it!!! ;)

How does the brain control the endocrine system?

Makovka662 [10]

As the head organ in the body which controls, monitors, supervises and influences the different organ system in the body and of the individual -characteristics, personality, traits, cognition, perception, intelligence, sensation and motor responses. The brain controls the endocrine system by its part, located somwhere in the medial temporal lobe called the hypothalamus, the master gland of the body. The hypothalamus influences every gland secretion and hormonal function that preceeds and proceeds in the body of an organism -growth, drives, sex, survival and etc.

The hypothalamus sends sgnals from the different gland organs in the body that either exhibits or inhibits the activity of that particular gland releasing hormone.
