<h2>B) is the correct option </h2>

Explanation:

  • Succinate dehydrogenase is the smallest component of electron transport chain and consists of four different subunits including FAD, 3 Fe-S centers
  • It catalyzes oxidation of succinate to fumarate and electrons released transferred to ubiquinone
  • Succinate dehydogenase transfer electrons from succinate to ubiquinone via FADH2 thus this complex directly links tricarboxylic acid cycle to electron transport chain
  • Activity of succinate dehydrogenase is inhibited by malonate which is a competitive inhibitor as a result oxidation of succinate to fumarate will not occur and hence concentration of fumarate will decrease

Why is damage to the heart more serious than damage to the liver ?
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

Heart failure can rob your liver of the blood it needs to work. The fluid buildup that comes with it puts extra pressure on the portal vein, which brings blood to your liver. This can scar the organ to the point where it doesn't work as well as it should.
