What is true about the function of the electron transport system (ETS)?

Biology

FrozenT [24]3 years ago

The correct answer is the last option.

The first option does not make sense as the electron transport chain makes the most ATP from the whole ATP synthesis cycle including glycolysis and the Kreb's Cycle. It also does not make NADH, but instead splits NADH into NAD- and H+. The H+ are used later to make ATP.

The second option also does not make sense as a "lysosome" is a digestive "pocket" in the cell, used for taking in and digesting food for the cell.

The third option also does not make sense as it does not produce NADH and is not during glycolysis. The electron transfer chain breaks up NADH and FADH2 and is the last step in the ATP synthesis process, after glycolysis and Kreb's Cycle.

The last option is correct. The electron transfer chain has the ability to make 34 molecules of ATP (in theory; so in real-life this does not always happen). The electron transfer chain does break down several compounds derived from glucose in a series of chemical reactions that do occur in the cristae of the mitochondrion.

What role does mutation play in the evolution of a species and the development of new characteristics?
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Mutation plays a vital part in evolution; it is the greatest source of genetic variation. In evolution, it creates a new DNA sequence for a particular gene, creating a new allele. Additionally, recombination can produce a DNA sequence (a new allele) for a specific gene through intragenic recombination.
