Answer:

The electron transport chain is a cluster of proteins that transfer electrons through a membrane to create a gradient of protons that creates ATP (adenosine triphosphate) or energy that is needed in metabolic processes for cellular function.

The number of cells in an average-sized adult human is on the order of 10^14 cells. Use this information, and the estimate that

KengaRu [80]

IF:
Number of cells: $C = 10^{14}$
DNA lenght: $D = 2m = 12.42 * 10^{-4} mi$
Distance from Earth to Sun: $ES=93000000 mi = 9.3* 10^{7}mi$

Then:
a) Over how many miles would the total DNA from the average human stretch?
The answer is product of multiplication of the number of cells (C) and the DNA length (D):
Total DNA: $T = C*D$
⇒ $T = 10^{14}*12.42* 10^{-4} mi$
⇒ $T = 12.42* 10^{14-4} mi$
⇒ $T = 12.42* 10^{10} mi$
The total DNA from the average human will stretch $12.42* 10^{10} mi$

b) How many times would the total DNA from the average human stretch from Earth to the Sun and back?
The answer is concluded from the ratio of the total DNA length (T) and the twice (because of stretch to the Sun and back, thus, two directions) of distance from Earth to the Sun (ES) and :
Ratio: $R= \frac{T}{2*ES}$
⇒ $R = \frac{12.42* 10^{10}mi }{2*(9.3* 10^{7}mi)}$
⇒ $R = \frac{12.42* 10^{10}}{18.6*10^{7}}$
⇒ $R = 0.6677* 10^{10-7}$
 ⇒ $R = 0.6677* 10^{3}$
 ⇒ [tex]R = 667.7
Thus, 667,7 times will the total DNA from the average human stretch from Earth to the Sun and back.
