Answer:NADH donates it electron to complex I a higher energy level than other complexes while FADH donates it electron to complex II a lower energy complex.
Explanation:
Both NADH and FADH are shuttle of high energy electrons originally extracted from food into the inner mitochondrial membrane.
NADH donate it electron to a flavoprotein consisting of FMN prosthetic group and an iron-sulphur protein in ETC complex-I. Two electrons and one hydrogen ion are are transferred from NADH to the flavin prosthetic group of the enzyme.
While the electrons from FADH2 enters the ETC (electron transport chain) at the level of co-enzyme Q (complex II). This step does not librate enough energy to act as a proton pump.
So NADH produces 2.5 ATP during the ETC and oxidative phosphorylation because it donates its electron to Complex I, which pump more electrons across the membrane than other complexes.
Answer:
Primitive Earth where life emerged was subjected to extreme conditions
Explanation:
The origin of life is still an issue of intense debate today, although most researchers believe that life emerged from primitive organisms generated by the synthesis of organic compounds in early Earth. In line with this theory, it has been shown that membrane-forming compounds can be formed in extreme conditions (i.e., UV rays, extreme temperature, etc). It is believed that such conditions recreated in a laboratory were similar to the early Earth about 3,900 million years ago, thereby supporting the idea of the 'primordial soup theory' proposed by John Burdon Sanderson Haldane in 1929.
