Answer:

Disease affects an organism by disrupting the organism's homeostasis. Homeostasis is the process by which an organism maintains a steady internal environment (stable body temperature, blood sugar level, electrolyte balance, etc.). A disease will disrupt this process. For example, Helicobacter pylori (the bacteria responsible for most stomach ulcers in humans) disrupts homeostasis by interfering with the production of the mucus layer that protects the stomach lining cells from the hydrochloric acid in the stomach lumen.

Electrons are brought to the electron transport system by the oxidation of

Viefleur [7K]

Electrons are brought to the electron transport system by the oxidation of NADH and FADH2.

The electron transport chain is a group of proteins located within the inner membrane of the mitochondria which transport electrons. Electrons are passed from one member of the transport chain to another in a series of redox reactions, forming a proton gradient which is then used for ATP production.

NADH and FADH2 are reduced electron carriers which are oxidized into NAD+ and FAD near the beginning of the electron transport chain.
