Answer:

Cell membrane of prokaryotes and Inner mitochondria of eukaryotes

Explanation:

Electron transport chain is a part of oxidative phosphorylation which is the third step of aerobic cellular respiration in living organisms. The ETC is a complex of proteins and mobile electron carriers. It occurs when electron is being transferred from one electron carrier to another, starting from NADH and FADH2. A proton pump which is used to synthesize ATP is generated at the end.

This ETC process occurs in the cell membrane of prokaryotic cells due to the fact that they lack a membrane-bound Mitochondrion. ETC occurs in the inner membrane of the mitochondria called CRISTAE in eukaryotic cells.

Do all human cells obtain glucose in the same way 
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Animal cells (including humans ofcourse), heterotrophs, derive their energy from coupled oxidation-reduction reactions. Glucose is a primary fuel for heterotrophs. Energy derived from glucose is stored in the form of high-energy phosphate bonds in ATP, or other nucleotide triphosphates, and as energy-rich hydrogen atoms associated with the co-enzymes NADP and NAD .

Glucose is unable to diffuse across the cell membrane without the assistance of transporter proteins. At least 13 hexose transporter proteins with different functions have been identified. Some hexose transporters allow glucose to flow passively from high to low concentration without requiring the expenditure of cell energy. Those that move glucose against its concentration gradient consume energy, generally in the form of ATP.

D-Glucose is the natural form used by animal cells.

So yes it is present inside human cells .

Some bacteria live in the roots of plants like soybeans and peas. What is the role of these bacteria in the nitrogen cycle.
love history [14]

Answer:The nitrogen present in the soil is not directly used by the bacteria. It can be used only when the nitrogen is converted into usable form. These bacteria convert  atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia, then nitrite which is then converted into nitrate. This nitrate is used by the roots of the plants like soybeans and peas. This is the role of bacteria present in the roots of the plant to convert atmospheric nitrogen into usable form that can be used by plants.

Assuming no genetic recombination, how many genetically distinct types of gametes can a single human being make?
Georgia [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Each chromosome represents a twin.like pairs of socks.

This is an analogous problem: you have 2 pairs of socks, one white, one black. Each of the sock is tailored to a specic foot, right or left. How many different ways can the socks be mixed and matched , one for each foot?

Here are the possibilities : left = black, right = black is one such match. Left = white, right = black is another.

so also we will have 23 chromosome pairs
