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

Biology
2 answers:
FrozenT [24]3 years ago
8 0

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.

Answer:

It has the ability to generate 34 molecules of ATP for every molecule of glucose that is broken down as a result of a series of chemical reactions that occur in the cristae of the mitochondrion.

ELEN [110]

Answer:

The options

A)hippocampus

B)basal ganglia

C)hypothalamus

D)cerebellum

The CORRECT ANSWER IS D)

D)cerebellum

Explanation:

Apart from the coordinating process, the cerebellum is involved in motor learning, emotional behavior, and fear memory.

Fear learning is widely shown in the variation of autonomic and somatic responses, as in heart rate and freezing, promoted by a neutral stimulus which could have been formally grouped with a painful one.

Variation or changes of the vermis influences these responses, and its reversible inactivation in the period of consolidation which is seen to impair fear memory.

The neural correlate of cerebellar activities in fear consolidation is shown by a behaviorally promoted long-term rise of synaptic effectiveness and efficiencies among parallel fibers and a Purkinje cell.

Likely synaptic variations after fear conditioning are well fully observed in the amygdala and hippocampus, suggesting an interplay among emotional circumstances of scenario and the different variations in neural process.

Furthermore, in hotfoot mice, that shows a basic lack of parallel fiber to Purkinje cell synapse, short- and long-term fear memories are influenced.

All these data gives a foundational background on the concept that the cerebellum is majorly involved in fear learning.

The functional interplay of the vermis with hypothalamus, amygdala, and hippocampus do infer to a more complex activities of the cerebellum as a form of an united network that basically influences emotional behavior.

Which answer helps to explain why all living cells need ph buffers?
defon

Answer;

Amino acid side chains have many carboxyl and amino groups.

Explanation;

-A buffer solution is a solution that resists changes in pH when small quantities of an acid or an alkali are added to it. It is a chemical substance that helps maintain a relatively constant pH in a solution, even in the face of addition of acids or bases.

-Buffering is important in living systems as a means of maintaining a fairly constant internal environment, also known as homeostasis.Small molecules such as bicarbonate and phosphate provide buffering capacity as do other substances, such as hemoglobin and other proteins.

- Protein buffer systems depend upon proteins, as opposed to nonprotein molecules, to act as buffers and consume small amounts of acid or base. Since amino acids have the capability of reacting with both acid and base, they naturally act as buffers.
