Autotrophs are organisms that produce complex organic compounds (fats, carbohydrates, proteins). Ex: planta, algae and some bacteria.

Heterotrophs are organisms that can’t produce their own foods (organic compounds) so they rely on eating other organisms (plants or animals) to obtain their energy. Ex: dogs, humans, cats, giraffes, ect.

Which of the following is correct? Which of the following is correct? Most of the ATP are produced by substrate-level phosphoryl
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

Each FADH2 yields about 1.5 ATP via oxidative phosphorylation.

Explanation:

Most of the ATP molecules are produced by oxidative phosphorylation, not by substrate-level phosphorylation. During glycolysis, 2 ATP molecules per glucose are produced by substrate-level phosphorylation. Similarly, Kreb's cycle also yields 2 ATP per glucose by substrate-level phosphorylation.

For each pair of electrons transferred to O2 from FADH2 via electron transport chain, 4 and 2 protons are pumped from matrix towards the intermembrane space by complex III and complex IV respectively. It generates the proton concentration gradient required to drive the synthesis of 1.5 ATP molecules. Since oxidation of FADH2 is coupled to the phosphorylation of ADP to form ATP, the process is called oxidative phosphorylation.

The pupil opens and closes automatically in response to light.What part of your nervous system controls this response and is it
Zigmanuir [339]
Pupillary response is a physiological response that varies the size of the pupil, via the optic and oculomotor cranial nerve. Involuntary reflex reaction to exposure or inexposure to light—in low light conditions a dilated pupil lets more light into the eye. :)
