Answer: (B) to function as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain.

Explanation:

Oxidative phosphorylation is a process that takes place in cellular respiration. It consists of two component pathways which includes the electron transport chain (etc) and chemiosmosis.

In etc the electrons are passed from one to another molecule, the energy is released by the electrochemical gradient.  

In chemiosmosis, the energy stored in the electrochemical gradient is used to produce energy molecules in the form of ATP (Adenosine triphosphate).  

The oxygen is present at the end of the etc. It's function is to accept the electrons also picks up the protons to form water. If oxygen is absent then no molecule will accept the electrons, the electron transport chain will stop. There will be no chemiosmosis as the ATP will not be produced in the absence of formation of a electron gradient.

Which section of the pre-mrna contains the protein-coding regions
raketka [301]

The exons of the pre -mRNA contain the protein -coding regions.

Pre mRNA is the first made mRNA transcript and requires undergo many post transcriptional modifications for the formation of a mature mRNA.

The exons are the regions of the pre-mRNA that are found in the mature RNA, after the splicing of introns takes place.

RNA splicing is the process in which the non-coding segments of the RNA, which are known as introns, are removed by the help of small nuclear ribonucleoproteins.  These SnRNPs make the spliceosome, which catalyzes the process of splicing.

After the introns are removed by the splicing process, the exons are covalently joined, which forms the mature mRNA.

Microorganisms are very small, not visible with an eye, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites.

Even though som of microorganisms can make people ill, many of them are not harmful, all the contrary, they can help a human with digestion, protect him from infections and keep the health good.

Explanation:

You have bad microorganisms in the body, called pathogens. Pathogens can be very harmful and kill all the good cells in the host. That is why good microorganisms are important. They make colonies and protect the body from the development of pathogens that release toxins into the body.

Good microorganisms provide nutrition for the organism, they involve minerals, produce hormones and stop bad microorganisms enter the organism.
