What energy carriers can enter the electron transport chain in mitochondria to generate ATP?

The electron transport chain occurs in the mitochondria. ATP synthase present in the inner mitochondrial membrane is a carrier of electron. FADH2 AND NADH two molecules supply high energy electrons from the citric acid cycle from the electron transport chain at complex I (NADH coenzyme Q reductase) and II (succinate dehydrogenase)respectively.

astraxan [27]

Answer:

The glycosidic  linkage between glucose molecules in maltose is α-1,4-glycosidic linkage.

Explanation:

As maltose is a reducing sugar, it must possess the linking of its two glucose molecules in such a way that an anomeric carbon is left for the the formation of an aldehyde group. The glucose molecules in maltose are linked in such a way that the first carbon atom of one of the glucose molecules is attached to the fourth carbon of the other glucose molecule. This is known as head to tail fashion and termed as α-1,4-glycosidic linkage.
