Respiration:

The respiratory chain detailed here is that of mammalian mitochondria:

NADH → NADH dehydrogenase → ubiquinone (coenzyme Q10) → coenzyme Q-cytochrome c reductase → cytochrome c → cytochrome c oxidase → O2;

succinate → succinate dehydrogenase → ubiquinone (coenzyme Q10) → coenzyme Q-cytochrome c reductase → cytochrome c → cytochrome c oxidase → O2.

It consists of the following elements:

The high transfer potential electrons of NADH are transmitted to coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone) by NADH dehydrogenase, or complex I. Reduced coenzyme Q10 is ubiquinol Q10H2.

The electrons with a high succinate transfer potential are transferred to coenzyme Q10 by succinate dehydrogenase, or coenzyme II, also giving ubiquinol Q10H2.

Ubiquinol Q10H2 transfers its electrons to two cytochromes c under the action of coenzyme Q-cytochrome c reductase, or complex III.

Four cytochromes c each transfer their electron to an oxygen molecule under the action of cytochrome c oxidase, or complex IV. Two molecules of water are formed.

Each of these four respiratory complexes has an extremely complex structure partially included in the internal mitochondrial membrane. Apart from the complex II, they are proton pumps. The electrons circulate between these structures on liposoluble or hydrophilic electron transporters depending on the case.

Photosynthesis:

Photophosphorylation is the equivalent, for photosynthesis, of oxidative phosphorylation for cellular respiration. It constitutes the "light phase" of photosynthesis, that is, it groups together light-dependent reactions.

In plants, photophosphorylation occurs in the membrane of thylakoids, within chloroplasts:

H2O → photosystem II (P680) → plastoquinone → cytochrome b6f complex → plastocyanine → photosystem I (P700) → ferredoxin → ferredoxin-NADP + reductase → NADP +;

cyclic photophosphorylation: (ferredoxin →) plastoquinone → cytochrome b6f complex → plastocyanine → photosystem I (P700) → ferredoxin (→ plastoquinone).

Contrast:

<u>What he has in common is:</u>

*The sequence of several complex membrane proteins transporting electrons.

*The conversion of DNA into ATP.

<u>The differences</u> are in the transport proteins themselves, as well as the direction of H + flux (to the cytoplasm for photosynthesis, and to the mitochondrial matrix in respiration).

Which level of organization includes all the other levels of organization?
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Organism.

Explanation:

The cell is the smallest form of life. Cells work together to form tissues, tissues work together to form organs, and organs work together to create an organ system, and organ systems work together to create organisms. I believe "organism" includes all of these other levels.

Which abiotic factor most likely controls where the plants live in this environment
Setler [38]

Which abiotic factor most likely controls where the plants live in this environment ?

Oxygen levels for aquatic animals

Oxygen from the air and oxygen produced by aquatic plants dissolves in water. Without this, aquatic animals would suffocate and die. Healthy lakes and rivers have high levels of oxygen, and polluted waters often have low levels of oxygen. This pollution means that only certain species can survive there such as sludgeworms. These are bioindicator species because their presence or absence informs us about the condition of the habitat.

Carbon dioxide levels for plants

Carbon dioxide is a reactant in photosynthesis which means plants need it to survive. Areas with higher levels of carbon dioxide are more likely to have healthy plants growing. Farmers often release carbon dioxide within their greenhouses to maximise their crop yield. Woodlands often have higher carbon dioxide levels than open grassland, so many plants living in open areas have evolved mechanisms to overcome a shortage of carbon dioxide.
