Difference: Carbon cycle requires life, and the water cycle just requires sunlight. So former would continue to occur without life, but the latter would not.
Similarity: They both use Plants as an Integral component. <span>The </span>water cycle<span> uses plants for uptake of </span>water and transpiration from the surface whereas carbon<span> is used in photosynthesis and also form the body of the plant (through various organic molecules)

The correct answer is proteins.
The oxidative phosphorylation in the eukaryotes takes place within the mitochondria with the help of electron transport chain. The main objective of the electron transport chain is to accumulate enough amount of protons in the intermembrane space so that there will be a concentration gradient which would help in the production of ATP.
The electron transport chain comprises of various molecules, but majorly the proteins, which are situated in the inner membrane of the mitochondria.
Amino acids are used in the production of proteins!
