Question
Chapter 8, Problem 36A
Summary Introduction
Introduction :
The electron transport system is the terminal step of aerobic respiration that operates on the inner membrane of the mitochondria. During electron transport, high-energy electrons are released from NADH and FADH2to produce energy in the form of ATP. Oxygen is the final electron acceptor in the electron transport system in
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 36A
Correct answer :
The correct answer is option (A) H2O.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer :
Option (A) H2O (water). At the end of the electron transport system, two protons, two electrons, and half of an oxygen molecule combine to form H2O( water). Thus, the correct answer is an option (A).
The explanation for the incorrect answer :
Option (B) O2 (oxygen). Free oxygen as the final electron acceptor of the electrons which are removed from the intermediate compounds NADH and FADH2 .Thus, this is an incorrect option.
Option (C) CO2. CO2 (carbon dioxide) is not produced when the electrons leave the electron transport chain in cellular respiration. It is not a part of electron transport chain. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option (D) CO. CO (carbon monoxide) is not produced when the electrons leave the electron transport chain in cellular respiration. It is not a part of electron transport chain. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Drug X was developed to reduce blurred vision in healthy patients, but the effectiveness had not been tested on those suffering from multiple sclerosis. A study was conducted to determine if Drug X is effective at reducing blurry vision in multiple sclerosis patients. To be considered effective, a drug must reduce blurred vision by more than 30% in patients. Researchers predicted that a 20 mg dose of the drug would be effective for treating blurred vision in multiple sclerosis patients by reducing blurred vision by more than 30%. Drug X was administered to groups of multiple sclerosis patients at three doses (10 mg/day, 20 mg/day, 30 mg/day) for three weeks. A fourth group of patients was given a placebo containing no drug X for the same length of time. Vision clarity was measured for each patient before and after the three-week period using a standard vision test. The results were analyzed and graphed (See Figure…arrow_forwardSvp je voulais demander l aide pour mon exercicearrow_forward
