It takes work to push charge through a change of potential.
There's no change of potential along an equipotential path,
so that path doesn't require any work.
1) <span>The function of the electron transport chain is to pump protons in the mitochondrion inter-membrane, thus building up a proton gradient. This gradient will allow the ATP syntheses</span><span>.</span>
2) Why we need oxygen for the electron transport chain:
At the end of the electron transport chain is the Oxygen that will accept
electrons and picks up protons to form water. If the oxygen molecule is not there the electron transport chain
will stop running, and ATP will no longer be produced. Basically, we need the oxygen to produce more ATP.
When speed is combined with strength it is power
The frame of reference is the rotating earth underneath the flight path of the plane, the rate of rotation of the earth is 1036 miles per hour, meaning that the pilot has to compensate this fact when landing the aircraft.
