provide the energy that establishes the proton gradient - Answer In mitochondria, exergonic redox reactions do what? oxygen - Answer The final electron acceptor of the electron transport chain that functions in aerobic oxidative phosphorylation is? the pH of the matrix increases - Answer When electrons flow along the electron transport chains of mitochondria, what changes?

How does the arrangement of dermal tissues and ground tissues serve the leaves which are said to be ideally suited for photosynthesis - Answer - Epidermis is thin and transparent= allow more light to reach the palisade cells - Palisade cell layer at top of leaf= To absorb more light - Spongy layer= Air spaces allow carbon dioxide to diffuse through the leaf, and increase the surface area - The flat, thin shape of a leaf, its spongy mesophyll layer and stomata are adaptations that also all...
