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.

Why does the mass of a substance remain the same after a chemical reaction
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

Even in a chemical reaction when atoms interact and create new products, mass is conserved. This is because the new substances created are composed of atoms that were present in the reactants. The atoms from the reactants come apart, rearrange, and re-bond in a different arrangement to form the products.

Which statement below describes a feature that is shared between kinesin and dynein? a. Both proteins "walk" towards the (+) end
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

C)Both proteins bind ATP and F-actin

*C option is not mentioned* there is a flaw in the question

Explanation:

Two families of motor proteins, kinesin and dynein, transport membrane-bounded vesicles, proteins, and organelles along microtubules. Nearly all kinesins move cargo toward the (+) end of microtubules (anterograde transport), whereas dyneins transport cargo toward the (−) end (retrograde transport).While

both the protiens have globular ATP-binding heads that function as the motor domain and interact with the microtubules.
