Answer:

An enzyme that aids in digestion.

Electron carrier molecules transfer electrons between metabolic pathways. Choose the electron carriers that transfer electrons f
denis23 [38]

Answer:

from glycolysis to electron transport.-glycolytic pathway

NADH  and FADH2 are the major electron carrier   from glycolysis through the Kreb Cycle to the electron transport chain.

Note-NADH  alone transports electron  from glycolysis  to the Kreb Cycle. while both   NADH and FADH2  transport electrons   from the kreb'cycle  to the electron transport chain.

from citric ac id cycle to the electron transport chain.

as explained above both NADH and FADH2.

The electrons are  in the hydrogen atoms, carried by these co-enzymes. When they reached the matrix, the hydrogen atoms are split into protons and electrons(p and e-). it is these electrons that form gradients which are transported as chains in the matrix. The gradients of the electron generated PMF for pumping Hydrogen atoms into the intramembrane of mitochondrial

Note.

A female rabbit of phenotype c’ is crossed to a male rabbit with c ch. The F1 is comprised of five rabbits with a c’ phenotype,
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Option E, c is recessive to both c’ and c ch

Explanation:

As it is given in the question that when phenotypically c female rabbits are crossed with father with phenotype cch , the offspring produced have only cch phenotype which means that allele cch is dominant over allele “c”

Now in the F1 cross, when a female rabbit of phenotype c’ is crossed with cch male rabbit, then also c’ is expressed over “c” allele.  

Hence, c is recessive to both c’ and cch allele
