Electron transport chain (ETC) refers to a series of complexes involved in the transfer of electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors through the reduction and oxidation reactions.

The similarities between the ETC in mitochondria and chloroplasts are as follows-

1. Both involve the electron transport chains on their inner membranes.

2. The energy produced pumps the protons against their concentration gradient across a membrane.

3. ATP synthase is used.

4. Two protons provide energy for the production of three molecules of ATP.

The differences between the ETC in mitochondria and chloroplasts are as follows-

Mitochondria- It uses the process of oxidative phosphorylation and chemical energy from the reduction-oxidation reactions. The electron transport chain occurs in the cristae. The coenzymes involved include the NAD and FAD. ATP synthase is located in the cristae. The protons are pumped out of the matrix. The final electron acceptor is the oxygen.

Chloroplast- It uses the process of photophosphorylation and the light energy. The electron transport chain occurs in the thylakoid membrane. The coenzyme involved is the NADP. ATP synthase is located in the thylakoid membrane. The protons are pumped into the thylakoids. The final electron acceptor is the chlorophyll in cyclic photophosphorylation and NADPH+ in the non-cyclic photophosphorylation.

List 2 adaptations that helped Darwin's finches survive.?
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

Two adaptations of Darwin's Finches that helped them to survive are:

  • Beak structure.
  • Behavioral adaptations to use tools for foraging.

Explanation:

There are fourteen species of Darwin's finches that originated from a single  species of ground dwelling seed eating finch.

These Finches occupied different niche in the Galapagos island  and were widely studied by Darwin.

These finches are one of the best Examples of Adaptive radiation.

Studies state that during severe drought in Galapagos island most vegetation dried out and a few softer seeds were left.

These few seeds were quickly fed upon by the birds and only dry , hard seeds were left.

Only birds who had large and hard beaks could feed on these hard dry seeds.

To Ensure survival the Finches developed adaptations which resulted in hard and large beaks so that they can feed on those dried hard seed.

Some groups started feeding on insects and got their beaks adapted to capture and kill insects.

Second line of adaptation included changes in behaviour and cognitive intelligence where birds started using tools for foraging.
