Answer:
The reduced form of cytochrome c more likely to give up its electron to oxidized cytochrome a having a higher reduction potential.
Explanation:
Electrons from NADH and FADH2 flow spontaneously from one electron carrier of the electron transport chain to the other. This occurs since the proteins of the ETC are present in the order of increasing reduction potential. The reduced cytochrome b has lower reduction potential than cytochrome c1 which in turn has a lower reduction potential than the cytochrome c.
Cytochrome c is a soluble protein and its single heme accepts an electron from cytochrome b of the Complex III. Now, cytochrome c moves to complex IV which has higher reduction potential and donates the electron to cytochrome a which in turn passes the electrons to O2 via cytochrome a3.
Genetic traits that survive through selection increase throughout a population.
Nucleotides - they are molecules present in cells and are formed by nitrogenous bases
Phosphorus is an essential nutrient for plants and animals. Phosphorus is a limiting nutrient for aquatic organisms. Phosphorus forms parts of important life-sustaining molecules that are very common in the biosphere.
Answer:
The sternum, thoracic vertebrae, and ribs protect the heart and lungs.
Explanation:
The skeleton can be divided into the <em>axial skeleton</em> (the skull and the vertebral column), <em>visceral skeleton</em> (ribs and sternum) and the <em>appendicular skeleton</em> (extremities).
The function of the <em><u>visceral skeleton</u></em> is to <em>support and protect</em> the first portion of the digestive and cardio-breathing apparatus.
In mammals, the second part of the vertebral column (thoracic vertebrae), the ribs and the sternum delimitate a protective box for lungs and heart.
