Answer:
respiratory and excretory systems are among the two vital systems in our body which work in order to maintain our health or keep our body fit
Explanation:
Respiratory systems comprises of organs like lungs to inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide out of our body. The oxygen is then mixed with blood by the heart and reaches different parts of our body.
Excretory system is responsible for excreting or expelling the waste out of our body to keep our body free from toxins and harmful chemicals.
excretory system works with respiratory system to get rid of water vapors and carbon dioxide in the human body.
The correct answer is electrons.
Electron transport chain refers to an array of complexes, which mediates electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors through redox reactions, and combines the transfer of electrons with the transfer of protons through a membrane.
This produces an electrochemical proton gradient, which instigates the production of ATP. The ultimate electron acceptor in the electron transport chain is oxygen in aerobic respiration and sulfate in anaerobic respiration.
Answer:
A. NADH and FADH2 both donate electrons at the same location.
Explanation:
In the respiratory chain, four large protein complexes inserted into the mitochondrial inner membrane transport NADH and FADH₂ electrons (formed in glycolysis and the Krebs cycle) to oxygen gas, reducing them to NAD⁺ and FAD, respectively.
These electrons have great affinity for oxygen gas and, when combined with it, reduce it to water molecules at the end of the reaction.
Oxygen gas effectively participates in cellular respiration at this stage, so its absence would imply interruption of the process.
NADH and FADH₂ electrons, when attracted to oxygen, travel a path through protein complexes, releasing energy in this process.
The energy released by the NADH and FADH₂ electrons in the respiratory chain in theory yields <u>34</u> <u>ATP</u>, however, under normal conditions an average of 26 ATP molecules is formed.
If we consider that these 26 molecules are added to the two ATP formed in glycolysis and two ATP formed in the Krebs cycle, it can be said that cellular respiration reaches a maximum yield of 30 ATP per glucose molecule, although theoretically this number was 38 ATP per glucose molecule.
<span>During nitrification, ammonia is changed back into nitrate.</span>
Nitrification is a three-step process of oxidation of ammonia. It is an aerobic process performed by small groups of autotrophic bacteria (<span>Nitrosomonas,
Nitrobacter</span>).
First step- ammonia to hydroxylamine,
Second step-hydroxylamine to nitrite,
Third step-nitrite to nitrate.
Nitrification together with ammonification is part of a nitrogen cycle.
