Answer:

A.it pumps hydrogen ions inside the cell

Explanation:

Principally, the main role of electron transport chain is to maintain the electrochemical gradient of hydrogen ions (H+) inside the mitochondrial matrix. This is the last step in aerobic cellular respiration and performs a series of redox reactions. Overall, it allows accumulation of H+ inside the mitchondrial matrix. This increased gradient or accumulation of hydrogen ions (H+) is essential because H+ would accept the electrons producing during the reactions. Without this, the flow of electron will be stopped because of high  gradient, and production of ATP will not happen as well.

Indeed ETC helps in production of ATP but that is not the main function of electron transport chain rather it is a function of mitochondria.

Who is most in danger from the effects of overfishing ?
faltersainse [42]

I don't think we can answer this question just like that. The question should be formulated a bit differently:

WHAT is in danger from the effects of overfishing?


Well, in the end of the "effect-spectrum" we are in danger, since we also eat fish. But the most affected species are the ones that form the aquatic ecosystems. Such as fish. Examples:

1 - Many of the fish we eat, feed on sea-weed. If there aren't enough fish to eat the growing population of sea-weed, many fish die of intoxication.

2 - We don't have almost any fish restrictions in a way, because we can eat basically all of them. Therefore, many fish (which are also being eaten) find themselves in a lack of food.

3 - Many times, we concentrate on a specific species, which is a main cause of the extinction of species.



Hope it helped,
