Answer:

Option (C).

Explanation:

Oxidative phosphorylation may be defined as the process of the production of ATP molecule by the use of enzyme and transfer of electrons from one complex to the other complex.

The liver cells has five times large surface area of inner mitochondrial membrane than the outer membrane. This increases the surface area of the inner mitochondrial membrane that increase the rate of the oxidative phosphorylation. The complexes of the electron transport chain is located in the inner mitochondrial membrane.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

The inner membrane of the mitochondria in liver cells is about five times of that the outer membrane as it helps the expanding the surface area of the inner membrane including cristae which is compartment like structure in the inner membrane.

The expand in the surface area in the inner membrane that helps in enhancing its ability to produce ATP than normal. It increases the surface area for oxidative phosphorylation.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

In order for a fat molecule to be saturated, it must have what characteristic?
marin [14]
Fat (lipid) molecules are made up mostly of long chains of carbon atoms.
For a fat molecule to be considered saturated, the carbon chain must have only single bonds between them. 
Schematically, they look like  -C-C-C-C-  ...

If the carbon chain contains one or more double bonds, such as  -C=C-C-C, then the given lipid molecule is unsaturated.

If a lipid molecule (fatty acid) contains exactly one double bond in its chain, and the rest are single bonds, it is then called monosaturated.  It is a more healthy food source than saturated fats.

Saturated fat are generally solid at room temperatures.  Examples include lard, butter, mostly from animal sources.  However, coconut oil (solid at room temperatures as well) is a saturated fat.

As a country progresses from the preindustrial stage to the postindustrial stage, what will happen to the birth rate and death r
AnnZ [28]

Answer:Both birth rate and death rate will decrease.

Explanation:

Demographic transition: The process whereby a country moves from high birth and death rates to relatively low birth and death rates.

The decline in death rate is due to better economic and social conditions of the country which leads to control of pre-existing diseases, better medical facilities,more food production,increased jobs,better sanitation and hence better quality of life.

Decline in birth rate is due to improved quality of life and also could be due to availability of family planning services in highly developed countries.Moreover access to education especially in female population has created awareness regarding birth control.

30. How many DNA codes are used by life on Earth?
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

That's how much information is stored in the DNA inside every human cell: the entire human genome. If you sort through the three billion letters that make up the human genome, you find some surprising things. Only about 1% of the three billion letters directly codes for proteins.
