Answer:

Electron transfer to from cytochrome c to molecular Oxygen in the process of oxidative phosphorylation

Explanation:

Cytochrome c is a protein which is involved in the electron transport chain for the production of ATP molecules during then process of respiration. It a soluble protein found in the intermembrane space of the mitochondria. It receives electrons from ubiquinone at Complex III of the electron transport chain and transfers this electron to molecular oxygen through its interaction with complex IV or cytochrome c oxidase, reducing molecular oxygen to water.

If the interaction of cytochrome c with cytochrome c oxidase is inhibited, the process of elctron transfer to oxygen will be inhibited and, so ATP synthesis will cease.

Ultimately, respiration will be inhibited resulting in death of the organism. For example, cyanide inhibits cytochrome c oxidase resulting in death of the organism poisoned with cyanide.

A) varigated<br>leaves accumulates less Food than non-varigated leaves under similar condition

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

Due to less number of chlorophyll.

Explanation:

The variegated leaves accumulates or produces less amount of food than non-variegated leaves under similar condition because variegated leaves has number of chlorophyll as compared to non-variegated leaves. Chlorophyll is a green pigment that is responsible for the photosynthesis in plants, without chlorophyll no photosynthesis occurs in the plants. The variegated leaves has less number of chlorophyll as compared to non-variegated leaves which leads to less production of food in variegated leaves.
