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.

A constant rate of increase (rmax) for a population produces a growth graph that is J-shaped rather than a straight line. Why?
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The line graph illustrates the temperatures in London, New York and Sydney on monthly average and the table introduces the information about the annual hours of sunshine for these cities. The overall view is that London is always exceeded by the rest in both the temperature and the number of sunshine hours.

To specify, the line graph shows that in New York, the average temperature goes up slightly from 4.5 degree in January to 8 degree in March, before a more significant increase to the highest of 30 degree in July, followed by a drop to 5 degree in December. Similarly, in London, after climbing gradually from the lowest point of 9 degree to the highest of 23 degree in July, the figure stays unchanged in the next month and then fall to 9.5 degree in December.

On the contrary, in Sydney, the temperature decrease insignificantly from 25.5 degree in January to the lowest of 16 degree in July, before a gradual rise to 25 degree in December. Meanwhile, the table indicates that New York has the largest number of sunshine hours per year with 2535 hours, came after by Sydney and London with 2473 hours and 1180 hours respectively.

In conclusion, London is likely to be the coldest city because its annual hours of sunshine is less than two others.
