5 0

Answer:

The double membrane of the mitochondria is highly folded,and therefore wider when unfolded than that of the nucleus.This is an adaptive feature  to increase the surface area for reactions (electrochemical  gradient) by accommodating protons pumped into it by the proton motive force(PMF)  from the matrix to set up the electrochemical gradients needed to generate the energy needed by ATPase synthase enzymes for ATPs synthesis.

Required number of protons needed to be accommodated by the double membrane to generate enough energy for ATPase synthesis,therefore larger surface area is needed.

Identify locations of serous membranes.
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

Covering organs within trunk cavities

Lining trunk cavities

Explanation:

Serous membranes are layers of tissue that protect the organs. They prevent the organs from getting damage from friction which can occur as they rub against the cavity walls.

Serous membranes have two layers, the visceral layer and the parietal layer. The visceral layer covers the organs while the parietal layer covers or lines the cavity walls. In between these two layers, you will find a gap or cavity filled with serous fluid.

They cover organs like the heart, lungs, blood vessels (some of them at least), testes and other organs found in the abdominal cavity.

How does hydropower and solar power work together?
KIM [24]

Solar energy is energy that comes from the sun and is captured by solar cells. These cells transform the energy of photons of light into electrical energy. One mechanism is the energization of electrons, here the energy of the photons is transferred to the electrons, which can already be considered electric energy.

As for the hydroelectric energy, here the waterfalls or rivers flow driving a turbine, which will transform the movement into usable electric energy as it rotates.
