Answer:

Options (C) and (D)

Explanation:

The oceanic crust is usually about 5-10 km thick and is comprised of rocks that are basaltic in nature. These rocks are primarily made of minerals such as iron (Mg) and magnesium (Mg) and a comparatively lesser amount of silicate materials. Much of the oceanic rocks are destroyed due to the constant plate tectonic movement. It has been found that the oldest oceanic rocks found on the earth's crust is about 180 million years old only. The new oceanic crust often forms along the mid-oceanic ridge in a divergent type of plate motion, where new materials are added to the crust. Those rocks that are present along the mid-oceanic ridge are the younger rocks and those that are away are the oldest rocks. These oceanic crust are comprised of the volcanoes that form adjacent to the convergent plate boundary.

Thus, the correct answer is options (C) and (D). Brainelst please

mamaluj [8]

Explanation:

When the high energy electrons move from the reactive center, they are conveyed from one chain protein to another as the energy in the electrons is harnessed to pump H+ ions from the stroma into the lamellae. The electron will ultimately reduce NADP+ to NADPH and the electrons in the reactive center will be replaced by high energy electrons from the splitting of a water molecule in photolysis. The energy of the sun is used to split the water molecule. The high energy electrons then undergo the same cycle as the previous electrons and the cycle continues.

Eventually a proton-motive force is created across the lamellae membrane. This potential energy of the high H+ ion gradient is used by ATP synthase enzyme to phosphorylate ADPs to ATPs.

Which of the following events takes place in the electron transport chain?
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

The correct answer is C  the extraction of high energy electrons remaining from glycolysis and citric acid cycle .

Explanation:

Electron transport chain(ETC)  occur in mitocondria and is the last process of aerobic respiration.ETC deals with the transfer of electron from the reducing equivalent such as NADH,FADH2 thereby oxidising them to their oxidized form NAD+,FAD.

            The liberated electron from these equivalents utilizes the proton motive force come from the transport of H+ ion cytosol to mitocondrial matrix and then result in the phosphorylation of ADP to form ATP along with H2O by the reduction O2.
