Answer: Electron transport chain is a final stage of aerobic cellular respiration that involves the formation of large amount of ATP ( adenosine triphosphate) that is the energy currency of the cell.

It takes place in the inner mitochondrial membrane. Electrons are passed through various protein complexes present in the inner mitochondrial membrane.

When this happens, protein complexes push protons from mitochondrial matrix to the inter-membrane space, creating a proton gradient outside. ATP synthase is a final protein complex that forms ATP using the concentration gradient of protons.

I would hire this person because the disease is non-communicable. Plus, small cold and cough problems will not affect the performance of the person and therefore, there are little chances that he/she will take frequent holidays. Further, morally this job will help the person financially, in getting the proper treatment of the disease, if it occurs. And this will also raise the confidence and personality of the person. If the person has the skills that match our requirements, I will definitely hire him, despite his chances of developing multiple sclerosis.

At the time of the origin of LUCA which mode of nutrition was NOT being used?

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

C. Photoautotrophs-oxygenic.

Explanation:

LUCA is an abbreviation of the ‘Last Universal Common Ancestor’. The LUCA was a microorganism which lived around 4 billion years ago. The evidence had shown that the LUCA was lived deep underground in hydrothermal vents. These vents were rich in iron-sulphur. It did not use air but made its food from the metal-rich environment surrounding it. It made organic compounds such as ammonia for its metabolism from elements such as hydrogen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen.
