Mantle convection is caused by the magma in the mantle of the earth constantly being cooled near the crust and heated the closer it gets to the core and like normal convection the cool magma sinks towards the crust and the hot magma rises to the crust. this happens in a circular motion causing the crust to shift with the magma

ANEK [815]

Answer:

Cell membrane of prokaryotes and Inner mitochondria of eukaryotes

Explanation:

Electron transport chain is a part of oxidative phosphorylation which is the third step of aerobic cellular respiration in living organisms. The ETC is a complex of proteins and mobile electron carriers. It occurs when electron is being transferred from one electron carrier to another, starting from NADH and FADH2. A proton pump which is used to synthesize ATP is generated at the end.

This ETC process occurs in the cell membrane of prokaryotic cells due to the fact that they lack a membrane-bound Mitochondrion. ETC occurs in the inner membrane of the mitochondria called CRISTAE in eukaryotic cells.
