Answer:

a.) ventilation, circulation, cellular respiration

Explanation:

a.) ventilation, circulation, cellular respiration

b.) diffusion in tissues, cellular respiration, diffusion at respiratory surface

c.) ventilation, diffusion in tissues, circulation

d.) circulation, cellular respiration, diffusion in tissues

e.) circulation, ventilation, cellular respiration

Ventilation occurs in the lungs and is the process by which carbon dioxide in the capillaries is lost to the environment while oxygen is taken in. Circulation is the process by which this dissolved oxygen is taken by the blood to tissues around the body. When this oxygen is taken to tissue, the concentration gradient allows the oxygen to be taken up by tissue. This oxygen is used as an electron acceptor (when it reduced to water) in the mitochondria during electron transport chain of cellular respiration.

Which two molecules generated by the Krebs cycle pass their high-energy electrons to the electron transport

Sidana [21]

<u>Answer</u>:

The two molecules generated by the Krebs cycle that pass their high-energy electrons to the electron transport are NADH and FADH2

<u>Explanation:</u>

The kreb's cycle gives NADH and also the another hydrogen carrier which is termed as FADH2. During the process of the electron transport chain, one NADH gives rise to electrons and also the hydrogen ions, which has enough potential energy that can convert and produce 3 ATP molecules. Again in the electron transport chain the NADH and the FADH2 undergoes oxidation and releases energy in the form of the ATP. The process of generation of the ATP in the electron transport chain(ETC) is also referred as the chemiosmotic phosphorolation.
