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

Biology

wolverine [178]3 years ago
3 0

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.

The transport of specific particles through a membrane by channel proteins is known as facilitated diffusion.
Anton [14]

This is true.

Facilitated diffusion is a process by which molecules are transported across the plasma membrane with the help of membrane proteins.

It is a type of passive transport in which no energy from the cell is required for the process because a concentration gradient  exists that allows movement of particles without expending cellular energy. 

 Materials diffuse across the cell membrane with the help of membrane proteins some of which are known as carrier proteins.

Membrane proteins are proteins that are attached to, or associated with the membrane of a cell or an organelle.

Explanation:

You didn't attach a picture so i'll just explain how to find the number of stomatas/mm^2.

first you find the surface by multiplying the length by the width

0.1*0.1=0.01mm^2

now you count the numer of stomatas in the picture

in0.01mm^2 you have.........................x stomatas

in 1mm you have ...............................y stomatas

y=100x

Plants and animals that live in estuaries face a dilemma in maintaining water balance inside their cells. During high tide they
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

The correct answer is - a hypotonic solution as it can pass the cell wall and cell membrane into the cell.

Explanation:

The plant cell has a rigid cell wall that provides support to the plant cell that is not the case in the animals as they lack the cell wall. The low tidewater is an example of the hypotonic solution as it has fewer solutes than the plant cells or animal cells.

When a plant cell is in freshwater it takes up the water with the help of osmosis and begins to swell but the cell wall does not let it burst and become turgid.

Thus, the correct answer is - a hypotonic solution as it can pass the cell wall and cell membrane into the cell.
