Cytochromes are critical participants in the electron transport chains used in photosynthesis and cellular respiration. How do c

ytochromes donate and accept electrons?
1) Every cytochrome's iron‑containing heme group accepts electrons from oxygen and donates the electrons to the next cytochrome in the chain.
2) The cytochromes donate electrons excited by photons to other cytochromes that accept electrons as replacements for lost electrons.
3) Cytochromes donate electrons directly to the energy‑carrier molecules and and accept electrons from less electronegative substances.
4) Each cytochrome has an iron‑containing heme group that accepts electrons and then donates the electrons to a more electronegative substance.

Answer:

4) Each cytochrome has an iron‑containing heme group that accepts electrons and then donates the electrons to a more electronegative substance.

Explanation:

The cytochromes are <u>proteins that contain heme prosthetic groups</u>. Cytochromes <u>undergo oxidation and reduction through loss or gain of a single electron by the iron atom in the heme of the cytochrome</u>:

Cytochrome-Fe²⁺ ⇄ cytochrome-Fe³⁺-e⁻

The reduced form of ubiquinone (QH₂), an extraordinarily mobile transporter, transfers electrons to cytochrome reductase, a complex that contains cytochromes <em>b</em> and <em>c₁</em>, and a Fe-S center. This second complex reduces cytochrome <em>c</em>, a water-soluble membrane peripheral protein. Cytochrome <em>c</em>, like ubiquinone (Q), is a mobile electron transporter, which is transferred to cytochrome oxidase. This third complex contains the cytochromes <em>a</em>, <em>a₃</em> and two copper ions. Heme iron and a copper ion of this oxidase transfer electrons to O₂, as the last acceptor, to form water.

Each transporter "downstream" is <u>more electronegative</u><u> than its neighbor </u>"upstream"; oxygen is located in the inferior part of the chain. Thus, the <u>electrons fall in an energetic gradient</u> in the electron chain transport to a more stable localization in the <u>electronegative oxygen atom</u>.

Y-Chart<br> Explain how an invasive species can influence each aspect of an ecosystem.
Katen [24]

Answer:

Invasive species are an organism that causes ecological or economic harm in a new environment where it's not native.

Explanation:

An invasive species can harm both the natural resources in the ecosystem as well it threaten the human use of these resources and invasive species can be introduced to a new area via the ballast water of oceangoing ships, intentional and accidental releases of aquaculture species, aquarium specimens or bait, and etc.

Invasive species is capable of causing extinctions to native plants and animals, reducing biodiversity, competing with native organisms for limited resources, and altering habitats. This can also result a huge economic impacts and fundamental disruptions of coastal and the great lakes of the ecosystems.

I hope it helps you.

Heredity is defined as
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

B.

the passage of genetic instructions from one generation to the next generation.

These are called genes. One mate reporduces with another made and the genetic buildup merges 50 % and 50% with genetics(if it's meiosis), or DNA codes from the parents to the offspring that then possess some of the genes. That shows heridity.
