Chlamydomonas is a unicellular algae. It occurs in many Varieties .Most of these are free floating,fresh water green algae.

<h2>More information</h2>

the plant body is unicellular and biflagellate.
the cell is spherical or cylindrical in shape .
the Protoplasm of the cell is always surrounded by a thin cellulose wall .
a pair of flagella of equal size is present at the anterior end. it moves by the lashing actions of the flagella.
usually two contractile vacuoles are present .
it contains a single nuclear suspended in colourless portion of the cytoplasm .

What are three techniques that can be used to show that the electron transport chain is found on the matrix side of the inner mi

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

Explanation:

Step 1: Generating a Proton Motive Force

The hydrogen carriers (NADH and FADH2) are oxidised and release high energy electrons and protons

The electrons are transferred to the electron transport chain, which consists of several transmembrane carrier proteins

As electrons pass through the chain, they lose energy – which is used by the chain to pump protons (H+ ions) from the matrix

The accumulation of H+ ions within the intermembrane space creates an electrochemical gradient (or a proton motive force)

Step Two: ATP Synthesis via Chemiosmosis

The proton motive force will cause H+ ions to move down their electrochemical gradient and diffuse back into matrix

This diffusion of protons is called chemiosmosis and is facilitated by the transmembrane enzyme ATP synthase

As the H+ ions move through ATP synthase they trigger the molecular rotation of the enzyme, synthesising ATP

Step Three: Reduction of Oxygen

In order for the electron transport chain to continue functioning, the de-energised electrons must be removed

Oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor, removing the de-energised electrons to prevent the chain from becoming blocked

Oxygen also binds with free protons in the matrix to form water – removing matrix protons maintains the hydrogen gradient

In the absence of oxygen, hydrogen carriers cannot transfer energised electrons to the chain and ATP production is halted

Because the final stages of cellular respiration require oxygen the are said to be

Leni [432]

The word that describes a process that can only happen in the presence of Oxygen (such as the final stage of respiration, the Electron Transport Chain) is Aerobic.

Conversely, if a process does not require the presence of Oxygen (such as glycolysis, the first stage of respiration) we can say that it is anaerobic.
