Answer:

The correct answer would be C. Electron transport and chemiosmosis

Electron transport chain (ETC) refers to the series of electron carriers present in the internal membrane of the mitochondria. The electrons from NADH and FADH₂ are carried through the ETC and are finally accepted by water.

Some of the energy of these high energy electrons is used to pump protons into inter-membrane space. It leads to the formation of a proton gradient across the inner membrane.

This gradient is used by the enzyme ATP synthase to phosphorylate ADP into ATP which is termed as chemiosmosis.

ETC and chemiosmosis produced most of the ATP during cellular respiration.

Glycolysis only produces two ATP and two NADH. Krebs cycle produces 6 NADH and 2 FADH₂ from one glucose molecule.

These molecules of NADH and FADH₂ undergo ETC and chemiosmosis to produce ATP.

Sickle-cell anemia results from a point mutation in the HBB gene. The mutation results in the replacement of an amino acid that

jekas [21]

Answer: protein structure

Explanation:

In Sickle-cell anemia, the gene sequence of hemoglobin is changed in its sixth position due to the substitution of glutamate with valine.

So, since glutamate, an amino acid soluble in water due to its hydrophilic side chain is substituted with valine, an amino acid that has a hydrophobic side chain insoluble in water or bloodstream; the resulting hemoglobin protein is altered in structure (sickle shaped) and unable to bind and transport oxygen efficiently to the various body parts.

What is the most direct way to differentiate between types of epithelial tissue

kogti [31]

The most direct way to different types of epithelium tissue is by the number of cell layers and by the shape<span> of the cells. As for the layers, they can be simple, if there is only one layer of cells, or stratified, if there is more than one layer of cells. Related to the shape of the cells it can be a squamous epithelium, a cuboid epithelium, a columnar epithelium, or transitional when the cell can adopt different shapes so that the epithelium can be stretched.</span>

7. Explain how the equations for photosynthesis and cellular respiration compare.

Sindrei [870]

Answer: In Photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water is yielded to glucose and oxygen. In respiration, glucose and oxygen is yielded to carbon dioxide and water. C6H12O6 (glucose) + O2(oxygen) → CO2(Carbon Dioxide) + H2O(water) + ATP energy. The products of one process are the reactants of the other. Notice that the equation for cellular respiration is the direct opposite of photosynthesis: Cellular Respiration: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O. Photosynthesis: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6+ 6O.
