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.

A mugger steals your wallet causing all of the following to happen EXCEPT ________.a.) increased metabolic rateb.) increased rat
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

c.) increased glucose uptake to the liver from blood

Explanation:

During stressful conditions such as facing a mugger, the sympathetic system of the autonomic nervous system is activated. There is a release of stress hormones from the adrenal glands to produce the flight or fight response. One of the physiological events occurring during these conditions is the breakdown of glycogen into glucose in liver cells and the release of glucose into the blood. The release of glucose by the liver increases blood glucose levels. This is done to ensure glucose availability as fuel. There is no uptake of glucose from the liver cells under such emergency conditions.

When the outer electron shell is full in an element, this creates a __________ ___________
Ierofanga [76]

<u>Answer: </u>

When the outer electron shell is full in an element, this creates a Noble gas.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Noble gases are the elements that belong to group 18 in the periodic table.  Noble gases are also called as inert gases. The outermost shell of the noble gases are fully filled by electrons. Due to this the noble gases don’t react with any other elements and remain isolated.

There are 6 noble gases in the periodic table. They are helium (He), Argon (Ar), Neon (Ne) Krypton (Kr), Radon (Rn) and Xenon (Xe). Noble gases conduct electricity. They are fluorescent, odorless and colorless. Noble gases are used a maintain stable elements in a constant and safe environment.
