Answer:

Option B , synthesizes ATP.

Explanation:

When the inner mitochondrial membrane is intact, ATP is synthesized. ATP is synthesized from ADP and Pi by electrons from NADH or FADH2 to O2. This process is known as oxidative phosphorylation which is driven by an electrochemical proton gradient across the inner membrane with three processes occurring simultaneously

a) electron transport,

b) proton pumping, and

c) ATP formation

Hence, option B is correct

Protection- the cranium and ribs protect the brain and vital organs in the chest

Shape- gives shape to the body and makes you tall or short

Support- holds your vital organs in place when playing sports. The vertebrae column holds the body upright

Movement- muscles are attached to bones, which are joined. When the muscles contract, the bones move

Blood Production- red blood cells(to carry oxygen) and white blood cells(to protect against infection) are produced in the bone marrow of some bones

Group the terms according to the subatomic particle they describe.

LiRa [457]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete but the completed question can be seen in the document attached.

There are three main subatomic particles namely electrons, protons and neutrons. However, the question only discusses two of them; electrons (negatively charged) and protons (positively charged).

A. Found in all matter

Answer: They are both found in all matter since all matter are made up of atoms and all atoms have both protons and electrons (and even neutrons).

B. Negative charge

Answer: The subatomic particle with negative charge (as discovered by R.A Millikan) is the electron

C. Exists in the nucleus

The subatomic particles found in the nucleus are the protons and neutrons.

D. Attract opposite charges

They both (protons and electrons) attract opposite charges because they are of opposite charges and generally unlike charges attract.

E. Moves at extreme speed

Of the two subatomic particles mentioned, electrons move faster than protons because of there lighter mass when compared to the protons. However, the fastest subatomic particle is the neutrino.

F. Bound by strong force

The protons are bound by strong nuclear force which binds them to the nucleus of the atom.
