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>.

Control activities are performed within processes (e.g., segregation of duties required in processing cash receipt transactions)
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

The control objectives seek to support the fulfillment of the critical factors of business success, in order to finally support the achievement of the institutional objectives, on this the CITI is based

It is very important to clearly identify the relationships of the control objectives with other internal control elements such as:

 · Critical success factors receive direct support from control objectives to support compliance.

· The control objectives are made up of control goals, which allow them to have a more detailed perspective of the control objectives and at the same time facilitate the evaluation of their compliance.

CITI CONCEPT:

It is the set of administration elements that a company establishes in a coordinated way so that the use of information technology resources effectively supports the institutional objectives of the company

Examine the given reaction. NH4NO3(s) → NH4+(aq) + NO3–(aq) ΔH° = 25.45 kJ/mol ΔS° = 108.7 J/mol·K Which of the given is correct
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

B)−6,942 J /mol

Explanation:

At constant temperature and pressure, you cand define the change in Gibbs free energy, ΔG, as:

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

Where ΔH is enthalpy, T absolute temperature and ΔS change in entropy.

Replacing (25°C = 273 + 25 = 298K; 25.45kJ/mol = 25450J/mol):

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

ΔG = 25450J/mol - 298K×108.7J/molK

ΔG = -6942.6J/mol

Right solution is:

<h3>B)−6,942 J /mol</h3>

All solutions<br>are mixtures; but<br>all mixtures are<br>not solutions.<br>why?​
aleksklad [387]

All solutions are mixtures of two or more substances, but unless the mixture has a homogeneous distribution of solutes in the solvent, then the mixture is not a solution. Therefore, all mixtures are not solutions.
