1) <span>The function of the electron transport chain is to pump protons in the mitochondrion inter-membrane, thus building up a proton gradient. This gradient will allow the ATP syntheses</span><span>.</span>
2) Why we need oxygen for the electron transport chain:
At the end of the electron transport chain is the Oxygen that will accept
electrons and picks up protons to form water. If the oxygen molecule is not there the electron transport chain
will stop running, and ATP will no longer be produced. Basically, we need the oxygen to produce more ATP.
<span>The element with the greatest number of known stable isotopes is tin, with 10 stable isotopes. Including unstable isotopes, mercury, cesium, and barium are each known to have 40 isotopes. Theory predicts however that many unstable isotopes should exist which have not yet been discovered (especially on the neutron-rich side of the line of stability.)

D) strongly acid
<h3>Explanation</h3>
A neutral solution have a pH of 7. All the solutions with a pH less than 7 are acid, and the more they tend to 0, the more they are acid. Viceversa with the solutions with pH greater than 7
