Table sugar is not a mineral because?

Biology
1 answer:
lianna [129]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

<h3><em><u>It is not made by a geologic process</u></em></h3>

Explanation:

A geologic process is a process which occurs dynamically at earth's surface or land forms. For example, volcanic eruption, weathering, erosion etc.

Whereas minerals are the inorganic substances which are homogeneous and occur naturally with a definite shape.

Sugar comes from plants and therefore it an organic compound. Hence it is not a mineral.

A table sugar undergoes a number of refining processes. It is in crystal form and it is made of more than one element which doesn't relate sugar with minerals.

Thus, we can conclude that <u>table sugar is not a mineral because it is not made by a geologic process.</u>

<u></u>

Hope this help

Answer:

Components of the electron transport chain (ordered by electronegativity from least electronegative to most electronegative):  

NADH dehydrogenase >> Coenzyme Q >> Cytochrome b-c1 complex >> Cytochrome c >> Cytochrome oxidase complex > O2

Explanation:

The electron transport chain transfers electrons from donors to acceptors via redox reactions (i.e., where reduction and oxidation occur together), and couples the transfer of electrons with proton transfer (H+ ions) across the membrane. In the electron transport chain, the electrons are transferred from NADH dehydrogenase NADH to oxygen (O2) through a series of transmembrane complexes: NADH-Q oxidoreductase, Q-cytochrome c oxidoreductase and cytochrome c oxidase. In the first place, the reduced form of coenzyme Q (ubiquinone) transports the electrons from the NADH-Q oxidoreductase to the Q-cytochrome c oxidoreductase complex (Cytochrome b-c1 complex). Second, the cytochrome c transports the electrons from this complex (i.e., Cytochrome b-c1 complex) to the Cytochrome oxidase complex, this being the last component in the electron transport chain that is responsible to catalyze the reduction of O2.
