Answer:

Around 18.4 percent of children between 6 and 11 years of age in the United States are considered overweight.

Explanation:

There are many factors that can cause a child or young kid to become overweight, such as <em>genetics, metabolism, eating and physical activity behaviours</em>, among others. However, there is one factor (or place) that is most responsible for the increase in the number of children suffering from overweight problems: fast-food chains. These places offer food that fails to provide children with the vital nutrients they need for their correct development. Children enjoy eating foods such as hamburguers, french fries and hot dogs because they seem so much tastier than vegetables and fruits. Also, parents who have no time to cook for their children because of their hectic lifestyles, resort to these places.

Minchanka [31]

The protons are pumped across the inner mitochondrial membrane from the inner matrix to the intermembrane space by the energy employed in the electron transport chain, creating a significant gradient in the hydrogen concentration. When it was discovered, this process was known as chemiosmosis.

<h3>The inner membrane is what?</h3>

The inner or cytoplasmic membrane controls the flow of nutrients, metabolites, macromolecules, and information into and out of the cytoplasm and preserves the proton motive force necessary for energy storage. It is impermeable to polar molecules.

<h3>What use does the intermembrane serve?</h3>

Proteins that are essential for mitochondrial energetics and apoptosis are found in the intermembrane region between the outer and inner membranes (process of programmed cell death). The inner membrane is significantly less permeable to ions and molecules than the outer membrane.
