The end products of electron transport chain are:

Water

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)

Explanation:

Most of the free energy released during the oxidation of glucose to CO₂ is retained in the reduced co-enzyme NADH and FADH₂, generated during the kreb's cycle.
Electron are released from these co-enzymes and are eventually transferred to an oxygen molecule to form water.
These transfer of electron from co-enzymes to oxygen molecule occurs through a series of protein complexes in the mitochondrial membrane. And the process is termed as Electron Transport Chain.

The large amount of free energy is released during the oxidation of NADH and FADH₂ is used in the production of ATP

<h2>Supply Energy</h2>

Explanation:

Carbohydrates, or saccharides, comes under biomolecules. The four significant classes of biomolecules are nucleotides, lipids, proteins and carbohydartes. Among these carbohydrates is more abundant.

It is also called "carbs," carbohydrates have a few jobs in living life forms, including energy transportation. They are the structural parts of insects and plants.

Carbohydrates derivatives are engaged with blood clotting, the immune system, the reproduction, the development of disease.

Beriberi is caused by a deficiency of thiamine in the diet.

denis23 [38]

Answer:

Thiamine pyrophosphate (derived from vitamin B1) is a coenzyme required for the activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase enzyme complex.

Explanation:

Pyruvate is the end product of glycolysis. During aerobic cellular respiration, pyruvate is oxidatively decarboxylated into acetyl CoA which in turn enters the Kreb's cycle. Oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate is carried out by enzyme complex pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH). The first step is simple decarboxylation and is catalyzed by pyruvate decarboxylase of the PDH complex.

The enzyme pyruvate decarboxylase and has a tightly bound coenzyme, thiamine pyrophosphate. Thiamine pyrophosphate is derived from vitamin B1. Lack of vitamin B1 in the human diet leads to beriberi that is characterized by an increased concentration of pyruvate in blood urine since oxidative decarboxylation cannot occur due to lack of the coenzyme thiamine pyrophosphate.
