The correct answer is: C) the extraction of energy from high-energy electrons remaining from glycolysis and the citric acid cycle

Electrons from electron carriers (NADH and FADH from glycolysis and citric acid cycle) donate electrons to the electron transport chain and that causes changes in protein complexes of electron transport chain. As a consequence, protein complexes pump H+ across a selectively permeable cell membrane from the mitochondrial matrix into the intermembrane space of mitochondria.  H+ can only get back and pass through the inner mitochondrial membrane with the help of ATP synthase (down their electrochemical gradient). ATP synthase turned by the force of the H+ diffusing through it forms ATP by adding a phosphate to ADP. This type of ATP synthesis  is called oxidative phosphorylation and it is based on chemiosmosis-movement of ions across a selectively permeable membrane.

Describe what messages are sent by the nervous system when you go outside wearing a sweater on a very hot day.​
mr_godi [17]

Answer and Explanation:

In homeostatic control processes any deviation from the norm sets into motion the appropriate corrective mechanisms which restore the norm. This rectification occurs through negative feedback. When you go outside wearing a sweater on a hot day, the body sends messages to the CNS and the following occurs:

  • The superficial blood vessels vasodilate so that more blood flows near the surface. This encourages heat loss.
  • Sweating and panting. Sweat secreted by the sweat glands evaporate from the surface of the body as it absorbs latent heat.
  • The metabolic rate falls so that the body generates less heat. You also become less active
  • Behavioural response by seeking cooler areas, cold drinks or removal of the sweater.

KatRina [158]

Answer:

Mark

Explanation:

At divergent plate boundaries, earthquakes tend to be weak and shallow. Transform plate boundaries, have shallow, but very powerful earthquakes. At convergent plate boundaries, where two continental plates collide, earthquakes are deep and also very powerful.
