Answer:

All of the above are true.

Explanation:

The structure and function of components of the nervous system are altered by the process of aging. In late adulthood, there is alteration in the neuromuscular junction and the nerve conduction velocity is also reduced.

The age-related slowed response of the nervous system is a result of the loss of nerve fibers from the peripheral nerves with aging. Both myelinated and non-myelinated nerve fibers of the peripheral nervous system are affected by aging and are lost resulting in slowed conduction of nerve impulse.

<h3>Oxidative Phosphorylation</h3>

Explanation:

The process by which ATP is generated by utilizing the large amount of energy released during the transfer of electrons from NADH or FADH₂ to the O₂  through a series of electron carrier present in the mitochondrial membrane is called oxidative phosphorylation.

The process of electron transfer is accompanied by the pumping of protons across inner membrane of mitochondria, from the  mitochondrial matrix to intermembrane space establishing electrochemical proton gradient.

The ATP synthase complex present in the mitochondrial membrane allows the protons to move down the proton gradient  as a result enough energy is released to add a phosphate group to ADP and form ATP inside the mitochondrial matrix.

Which of the following will NOT cause mass extinction?
aliya0001 [1]
Geological change will not cause a mass extinction, because it happens on a too big scale - on the scale of millions of years. During such long time, it is more likely that other causes will influence the survival of extinction of species, such as climate change or environmental disasters, and even if there is a small influence, it would not be significant next to other causes.
