The correct answer is proteins.

The oxidative phosphorylation in the eukaryotes takes place within the mitochondria with the help of electron transport chain. The main objective of the electron transport chain is to accumulate enough amount of protons in the intermembrane space so that there will be a concentration gradient which would help in the production of ATP.  

The electron transport chain comprises of various molecules, but majorly the proteins, which are situated in the inner membrane of the mitochondria.

Do you think the shape of orchids is pure Mendelian inheritance, or is it more complex?
Mandarinka [93]

The genetic base of the shape of orchid is very complex.

Mendelian traits are described as simple traits determined by one gene. The different alleles of the gene contribute to the difference in the trait. This is true for some traits in plants, animals including humans and other organisms, but not for the shape of orchids.

The shape of orchid flowers is determined by the ABCDE group of genes that are responsible for the body plan in plants. These genes are the equivalent of HOX genes of animals.

The protein products of different genes of the ABCDE group interact with each other in complex ways creating different shapes of orchids.

How would scientists know that there is life existing outside of Earth? What do they use?
worty [1.4K]
They would know if they see anything like traces of water or anything else that would be nessecary for a living organism to have. They look for these with technology like the hubble telescope as well as the drone on Mars to gather as much information as possible.

A race car drives one lap around a race track that is 500 meters in length. What is the driver's displacement at the end of the
Temka [501]

Answer:

zero

Explanation:

Displacement is a vector, meaning that the direction is  very important. Displacement is the distance from the starting point to wherever the object is. So a car that does a 500 m lap will have covered 500 m in distance but displacement is zero because, having come back to the starting point, the distance between the starting point and where the object is, is zero.

During a 6 month period, 239 cases of pneumonia occurred in a town of 300 people. A clinical case was defined a fever >102oF
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

<em>a. What is the significance of the rainfall? </em>These bacteria resist desiccation, and its dispersion is favored by winds. A decrease in rainfall means a dryer environment, which the bacteria can resist and makes it easier for the cell to be carried somewhere else by winds.  

<em>b. The etiologic agent of the disease is </em><em>Coxiella burnetii</em>

<em>c. This is an example of</em>  a zoonosis  

Explanation:

Q fiber Pneumonia is a zoonosis world-widely distributed and of global importance, which etiologic agent is <em>Coxiella bunetti</em><em>.</em>

  • Zoonosis: Referred to as the infectious diseases that are naturally transmitted from animals to human beings. Among zoonotic pathogens, there are bacteria, viruses, or parasites. They propagate by direct contact, water, and wind, among others. These diseases represent a global importance problem due to the close ties with animals. Zoonotic diseases increase even more as human being keeps dispersing and invading natural wild environments to raise cattle and farm, among other activities.
  • The etiologic agent is the element that propitiates the origin and evolution of a disease. Many bacteria and viruses might be considered to be one of the most common etiological agents.

Populations in contact with goats, sheep, and cattle, use to have a positive result for antibodies against <em>Coxiella burnetii</em>. This bacteria is transmitted to humans orally and by inhalation. The microorganisms resist extreme conditions and are highly infectious. The inhalation of only one cell can produce an important infection in the host. It resists desiccation and any other environmental degradation. They can persist for several months and be transported by winds to farther places. This makes it even more difficult to determine the epidemiologic origin.
