Answer:

Electrochemical gradients of protons, driven by Proton Motive Force.

Explanation:

NADH and FADH2 are the two coenzymes that ferry Hydrogen atoms into the mitochondria matrix.The Hydrogen atoms is splits into H+/protons and electrons.

The protons is continuously pumped across the matrix into the intramembrane of the mitochondria setting up an electrochemical gradient.

The influx of protons down the electrochemical gradients into the matrix generated the energy needed by the enzyme ATPase synthase to phosphorylate ADP with inorganic phosphate ion(Pi) to give ATPs.

Thus the influx of protons down their electrochemical gradients is the immediate source of energy.

Salmon live in both fresh water and salt water during their lives. they are born in fresh water nut migrate out to marine waters

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

1. adaption

Explanation:

Salmon have special adaptation behavior that allows them to live in both freshwater and saline water during their lives.

Salmons are born in freshwater where they spend few months and then move to saline water. For laying eggs, they again move to freshwater because eggs are unable to survive in saline water due to a process known as osmoregulation.

Moving from freshwater to ocean water, salmon adapt according to the environment for their survival.

Hence, the correct answer is "1. adaption"

What is the difference between arbitrary and natural levels? Why do these matter? (4) how do archaeologists recover the smallest

Vlada [557]

Arbitrary level refers to the fundamental vertical subdivision of an excavation square, implied only when easily identifiable natural strata are absent and when natural strata are more than ten centimeters thick.

Natural strata refer to a vertical subdivision of an excavation square, which is reliant on the natural breaks in the sediments in terms of grain size, color, hardness, texture, or other features.

It is important to know the difference between the arbitrary and natural levels as arbitrary levels could amalgamate artifacts from distinct natural levels, that is, of distinct geologic contexts.

The archaeologists can recover the smallest ecofacts and artifacts with the assistance of flotation, screening, and bulk matrix processing

The map shows the most active earthquake areas in dark shading. Identify one geologic event, other than an earthquake, that may

Ahat [919]

Another geologic event that may occur in the dark shaded area on the map is wildfire. The dark shaded area as shown in the map, is an area more commonly known as "The Ring of Fire". Volcanic activity is very common in this area, due to to the many volcanos present.

Explain the reason it is important to make careful observations about the specimens when using a dichotomous key

enyata [817]

Dichotomous key is a tool - a series of questions and choices that allows the user to determine the identity of items in the natural world, such as trees, wildflowers, mammals, reptiles, rocks, and fish. The first step is observing the whole specimen you want to identify. Observing the habitat in which it is growing,its size and overall shape and some distinguishing features. It is very important to make carefully these observations in order to use the key.
