<span>Glucose produces NADH and FADH2 via glycolysis and the citric acid cycle. Some ATP is produced in the process but is negligible. Most ATP is made by oxidative phosphorylation where NADH and FADH2 create a proton motive force along the inner mitochondrial membrane. In other words, the concentration of protons (H+) is high in the intermitochondrial space. The protons want to diffuse into the mitochondrial matrix and they do this by going through the ATP synthase protein which resembles a water turbine. As the protons move through the ATP synthase, ATP is produced. In essence the energy from H+ wanting to diffuse through the inner mitochondrial membrane is converted to energy in the form of ATP.

Which statement best descibes a cause and effects that occurs during the process of muscle contration?
ExtremeBDS [4]
The most appropriate statement that is explaining the effect and cause during muscle contraction is. “The release of calcium ions causes myosin and actin to attach to each other.” The activation of muscles helps in the generation of muscles that send out the signals to the neurons.

What results from meiosis of a diploid cell? ​
Korolek [52]

Answer:

Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by half and produces four gamete cells. The process results in four daughter cells that are haploid, which means they contain half the number of chromosomes of the diploid parent cell

Explanation:

Meiosis begins with a parent cell that is diploid, meaning it has two copies of each chromosome. ... The process results in four daughter cells that are haploid, which means they contain half the number of chromosomes of the diploid parent cell.
