Explain the role of NAD and oxygen in oxidative phosphorylation

Biology
1 answer:
DochEvi [55]3 years ago
3 0
<span>Inside the inner membrane of the mitochondria there is a chain of electron carriers. This chain is called the electron transport chain. Electrons from the oxidative reactions in the earlier stages of cell respiration pass along the chain. NADH donates two electrons to the first carrier in the chain. These two electrons pass along the chain and release energy from one carrier to the next. At three locations along the chain, enough energy is released to produce ATP via ATP synthase. ATP synthase is an enzyme that is also found in the inner mitochondrial membrane. FADH2 also donates electrons but at a later stage than NADH. Also, enough energy is released at only two locations along the chain by electrons from FADH2. The ATP production relies on energy release by oxidation and it is therefore called oxidative phosphorylation. </span>

Vomiting is a common symptom of the stomach flu - it starts a few hours after you're exposed to the virus so there isn't a certain amount of times you will vomit but drinking plenty of fresh, clean water will help you keep hydrated! :)

SVEN [57.7K]

The right answer is the promoter.

• The promoter is a nucleotide sequence that allows the transcription of the gene into mRNA. It is recognized by the RNA polymerase that initiates transcription. During the synthesis of the RNA, the promoter indicates which gene must be expressed and therefore which proteins the cell must produce. In an operon it is common to all genes.

• The operator is a segment of DNA and / or messenger RNA to which a chemical signal (a regulatory molecule) binds. It can be either a repressor signal or a transcription activating signal (DNA operator) or translation (RNA operator) of the genes of the operon. The RNA polymerase does not recognize this structure.
