I'm not completely sure, but I'm fairly certain that the answer is B.
Answer:
- Hydrogen ion concentration is lower in the mitochondrial matrix than in the intermembrane space.
- Oxidative phosphorylation relies on the hydrogen ion concentration gradient generated and maintained by the electron transport chain.
- Hydrogen ions enter the mitochondrial matrix via facilitated diffusion.
Explanation:
Oxidative phosphorylation is a metabolic pathway by which Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) molecules are produced through the transfer of electrons from NADH or FADH2 to molecular oxygen (O2). The hydrogen (H+) ions are pumped from the mitochondrial matrix to the intermembrane space, and this movement of protons generates an electrochemical gradient across the mitochondrial membrane which is used by the ATP synthase to produce ATP. This gradient is generated by the movement of electrons through a series of electron carriers (e.g., cytochrome c and ubiquinone) that are embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane. The movement of these H+ ions across the semipermeable mitochondrial membrane moving down their electrochemical gradient is named chemiosmosis and is an example of facilitated diffusion.
Answer:
Sphingolipids
Explanation:
They are derived from aliphatic amino alcohol sphingosine and functions in protecting the nerves in the central nervous system. Sphingolipids includes group of lipids called glycolipids and sphingomyelin. Just like phospholipids they have polar heads and two non-polar tails together with proteins, forms a myelin sheath. They insulate the nerves and causes quick transmission of electrical impulse amongst organs contributing to normal bodily functions.
Convection is the heat transfer used in this transfer.
