Why are NADH and FADH2 necessities in the electron transport chain?(1 point)

Biology
1 answer:
wolverine [178]3 years ago

NADH and FADH2 are necessities in the electron transport chain because they power the chain by moving electrons into it.

NADH and FADH2 are both generated at the initial stages of respiration (the Kreb's cycle), a process during which food materials are broken down to generate energy. NADH is generated from NAD+ as a result of the addition of electrons while FADH2 is generated from FAD also due to the addition of electrons.

Once generated, both compounds get transferred into the innermost membrane of the mitochondrion where they travel down the electron transport chain, donating their electrons in the process and creating an electrochemical gradient to generate ATP.

Without NADH and FADH2, there will not be electrons to power the electron transport chain and the generation of ATP would become impossible.

Which planet is the moon thought to have come from originally?
Lisa [10]

The Moon is thought to have come from the Earth. In 1975, the giant impact hypothesis was put forward. This suggests that the Earth was hit by a planet about the size of Mars around the time of the formation of the solar system approximately 4.5 billion years ago, and the impact caused part of the outer layer of the Earth to spin off and form what is now the Moon.

Which of the following would accompany a high-fat meal moving through the digestive system?
Anastaziya [24]
The answer is <span>The release of secretin, which triggers the liver to release bile.

Secretin is the hormone released from the duodenum. It signals the secretion of bile in the liver. Bile helps digestion of lipids in the stomach.
Through the process of elimination:
- Pepsin is a hormone that breaks down proteins to the smaller peptides. So, pepsin does not breaks down lipids of high-fat meal.
- Gastrin is a hormone that triggers the gastric glands to secrete hydrochloric acid and pepsinogen, inactive form of pepsin.</span>
