Cells do need food. In a process known as cellular respiration, cells convert biochemical energy (oxygen as food) from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products.
hope this helps.. :D
Answer: D) By decreasing the activation energy of a reaction
A catalyst is a substance that speed up the rate of chemical reaction without affecting the product of the reaction. They only affect the rate of reaction not the yield of reaction.
Catalyst provide an alternative reaction pathway that has lower activation energy than that of uncatalysed reaction. It increases the frequency of collision and because of these greater collision which lowers the activation energy of the reaction.
Answer:
Components of the electron transport chain (ordered by electronegativity from least electronegative to most electronegative):
NADH dehydrogenase >> Coenzyme Q >> Cytochrome b-c1 complex >> Cytochrome c >> Cytochrome oxidase complex > O2
Explanation:
The electron transport chain transfers electrons from donors to acceptors via redox reactions (i.e., where reduction and oxidation occur together), and couples the transfer of electrons with proton transfer (H+ ions) across the membrane. In the electron transport chain, the electrons are transferred from NADH dehydrogenase NADH to oxygen (O2) through a series of transmembrane complexes: NADH-Q oxidoreductase, Q-cytochrome c oxidoreductase and cytochrome c oxidase. In the first place, the reduced form of coenzyme Q (ubiquinone) transports the electrons from the NADH-Q oxidoreductase to the Q-cytochrome c oxidoreductase complex (Cytochrome b-c1 complex). Second, the cytochrome c transports the electrons from this complex (i.e., Cytochrome b-c1 complex) to the Cytochrome oxidase complex, this being the last component in the electron transport chain that is responsible to catalyze the reduction of O2.
The inches side because you measure things in inches when it's talking about length not cm unless you have to convert
