Answer choice: [C]:
_________________________________________

V = d / t  = 1800 mi / 40 min = 180 mi / 40 min = 45 mi / min .

Which very well could be "Answer choice: [C]:  45 m/min" ; except, this answer choice may have been written incorrectly—and should read:
                                                 "45 m/min."
________________________________________________________

Now, notice that all the answer choices given are in "meters" per (unit time—seconds or mins.

So, we need to convert:

45 mi.  to "meters", or "m".
______________________________________
Note the following conversions:
_______________________________________
 1 mi. = 1750 yd
______________________________________
3 ft. = 1 yd.
____________________________________

1 m = 3.2 ft.
_____________________

So, 1 mi. = ? m ;
_____________________
 1 mi * ( 1760 yd/ mi) * (3 ft / 1 yd) * ( 1m / 3.2 ft) = _?_  m ?
_____________________________________________________
On the "left hand side" , the units of  "mi", "yd", and "ft" ; cancel to "1" ;
  ____________________________________________________
    and we are left with:
______________________________________
[(1760 * 3)]  /  [(3)*(3.2)]   m  = (5280 / 9.6) m  =  550 m .
______________________________________________
So, we have:  550 m / min ; which match NONE of the answer choices.

However, it is possible that choices A or B, which are given in "m/sec" (meters per second); are among the correct choices.
____________________________________________

So, we convert:   550 m / min to:   "m / sec " ;
______________________________________
( 550 m/ min)*(1 min/ 60 sec) =  (550/60) m/sec = (55/6) m/ sec
                                                                                    = 9 1/6 m / sec .
_____________________________________________________
                                                                 which is:  None of the above.
______________________________________________________
                     Unless the answer choices were written incorrectly.

Which of the following is/are common to chemiosmosis and the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis? electron transport onl
blondinia [14]

Answer:

Both electron transport and a proton gradient

Explanation:

The process of oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria and electron transport chain in photosynthesis undergo chemiosmosis to produce ATP molecules.

Chemiosmosis is a process where the energy utilized by the movement of proton and electrons produces ATP molecules.

Both the processes involve the movement of electrons through electron carriers where the reduced energy is utilized to drive the flow of protons through the plasma membrane. This creates a proton gradient across the plasma membrane which rotates the ATP synthase and converts the ADP molecules into ATP molecules.

Thus, the selected option is correct.

How do we know what the make-up of air was like in the past?
ANTONII [103]

Explanation:

Primordial organisms did not require oxygen for respiration as is the case with most organisms case today. These organisms were and are still mainly anaerobic. They main form of cellular respiration is glycolysis that does not utilize oxygen. Since other organisms evolved from the primordial cells, it is deduced that the early atmosphere was not mainly composed of oxygen but mainly carbon dioxide.

In today’s aerobic cells oxygen is utilized in the Krebs cycle as a proton acceptor making cellular respiration even more efficient in the production of energy. Remember that, utlimately, organisms evolve to fit into their environment.

How does water enter the atmosphere
