Answer:

A. NADH and FADH2 both donate electrons at the same location.

Explanation:

In the respiratory chain, four large protein complexes inserted into the mitochondrial inner membrane transport NADH and FADH₂ electrons (formed in glycolysis and the Krebs cycle) to oxygen gas, reducing them to NAD⁺ and FAD, respectively.

These electrons have great affinity for oxygen gas and, when combined with it, reduce it to water molecules at the end of the reaction.

Oxygen gas effectively participates in cellular respiration at this stage, so its absence would imply interruption of the process.

NADH and FADH₂ electrons, when attracted to oxygen, travel a path through protein complexes, releasing energy in this process.

The energy released by the NADH and FADH₂ electrons in the respiratory chain in theory yields 34 ATP, however, under normal conditions an average of 26 ATP molecules is formed.

If we consider that these 26 molecules are added to the two ATP formed in glycolysis and two ATP formed in the Krebs cycle, it can be said that cellular respiration reaches a maximum yield of 30 ATP per glucose molecule, although theoretically this number was 38 ATP per glucose molecule.

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

If predominantly, we can't say of any treatment for progeria, aside from the routine observation of heart and blood vessel (cardiovascular) disease which is important in taking care of the health situation in the affected kids. Treatment relies majorly on the situation and clinical manifestations of the kid. At first, in 1999, the findings of the initial clinical drug trial for kids with an unusual rapid-aging disease, often referred to as Progeria, revealed positive results with a farnesyltransferase inhibitor (FTI), a drug initially designed to treat cancer.

The PATHWAY in gene expression to be TARGETED is progenin formulation---

The Progeria-forming mutation results in the formation of the protein progerin that disrupts the cell activities. Some areas of progerin's toxic impact on the body is due to the formation of a farnesyl group, Â that adheres to the progerin protein aiding it's disruption of the body's cells. FTIs means of action is through inhibition of the adhesion of the farnesyl group to progerin, decreasing the hazardous substances that leads to progerin.

The genetic medicine technique that acts as.an intervention tool gene therapy to regulate the gene that causes the stimulation and formation of the protein progenin.

Escalated cardiovascular disease results in death in the case of Progeria.

It's worthwhile to note that if the basic blood vessels can with time get better as a result of treatment, the treatment shows positive results. Slowing down stroke and aging manifestations will boost the chances of treatment.

Part d - relationship of allele behavior to meiosis during which part of meiosis (meiosis i or meiosis ii) do the two alleles of

MAXImum [283]

The answer is alleles detached from one another during anaphase of meiosis I, when the homologous pairs of chromosomes separate. During anaphase I, homologous pairs are drawn apart, and they go in the direction of the opposites of the cell. Meiosis I finishes with the manufacture of two haploid daughter cells for the reason that the homologous pairs of chromosomes have been separated.

Three small bones connect the tympanic membrane to the oval window. what is the function of these bones??

lesantik [10]

The bones are: malleus (hammer-shaped) , incus (anvil-shaped) and stapes (stirrup-shaped).

They are together known as ear ossicles.

They transmit the vibrations from the eardrum or tympanum to the inner ear.
