As the electron transport carriers shuttle electrons, they actively pump _____ into the outer membrane compartment, setting up a

concentration gradient called the proton motive force.
Chemistry

balu736 [363]2 years ago

Answer:

Hydrogen ions or protons

Explanation:

Electron transport carriers is a series of complexes that transfer electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors via redox reactions, and couples this electron transfer with the transfer of protons (H+ ions) across a membrane. This creates an electrochemical proton gradient that drives the synthesis of ATP, a molecule that stores energy chemically in the form of highly strained bonds. The molecules of the chain include peptides, enzymes (which are proteins or protein complexes), and others. The final acceptor of electrons in the electron transport chain during aerobic respiration is molecular oxygen although a variety of acceptors other than oxygen such as sulfate exist in anaerobic respiration.

If the reaction shown below is exothermic, the energy level of the reactants is ________. h2 + o2 → 2h2o
never [62]

An exothermic reaction is one which is accompanied by the release of heat energy.

In the given situation, hydrogen and oxygen combine to form water along with the generation of heat.

2H2 + O2 → 2H2O + heat

Based on the law of conservation of energy: 'energy can be neither created nor destroyed". This implies that whatever energy is released must have been present in the reactants. Therefore, the reactants must be in a higher energy level than products.

If the reaction shown below is exothermic, the energy level of the reactants is higher than products.

How can there be more than 1000 different atoms when there are only about 100 different elements?
LekaFEV [45]
Actually, there are only about 100 atoms that have been yet discovered. But each element has many different kinds of atom. For instance, carbon. Do you know carbon has more than 30 or 50 different types of atoms? Well, how? There are isotopes. Don't think that there is only one carbon atom which has 6 electrons and 6 protons and 6 neutrons. There are more. C-13 has 6 electrons and 6 protons and 7 neutrons. While, C-14 has 6 electrons and 6 protons and 8 neutrons. I just showed you three stable isotopes of carbon(element). But, what is really an isotope?? Did you notice that all of these atoms had the same number of protons and electron but different numbers of neutrons? This is really an isotope. Well, if an atom takes a few more electrons or gives off a few electrons, it still stays the same element/ atom type. Just like that an element can have atoms of different neutron number. It may be less or more. It doesn't affect the atom much: just makes an isotope. But it does affect the atomic mass number or radioactivity of an atom. So, an element can have many different forms of isotopes of its atoms. In this way, being only 100 atoms, there can 1000 atoms or (more than that!). 

To make it more clear-

Definition of ISOTOPE: <span>any of two or more forms of a </span>chemical<span> element, having the same number of protons and electrons in the nucleus, or the same atomic number, but having different numbers of neutrons</span>

Which compound could serve as a reactant in a neutralization reaction ?
Veseljchak [2.6K]
 The   compound that  could serve  as  a reactant   in the neutralization reaction is    H2SO4
     
  Explanation
   Neutralization reaction occur  between an acids  and a base. H2SO4             (  sulfuric acid)  is  a strong  acid.  It can be neutralized by  strong base such as NaOH ( sodium  hydroxide)

  Example of neutralization reaction is

2NaOH + H2SO4 → Na2SO4  + 2H2O
