Electrons do not usually flow through the electron-transport chain to o2, unless adp is simultaneously phosphorylated to

ATP

Explanation:

The main purpose for cellular respiration, is to finally obtain ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate), this process occurres through the electron transport chain: this is the final step of the aerobic respiration, and takes place when energy from NADH and FADH₂ (both products from Krebs Cycle) is transferred to ATP  

This process occurres within the inner membrane of the mitochondria: while protons (H⁺) pass through the ATP synthase (this protein acts as a “tunnel” where H⁺ go through), which uses the difference of protons (H⁺) concentration between the matrix (between 2 mitochondrial membranes) and the inner matrix of mitochondria.  

The ATP synthase also acts as an enzyme, creating ATP using ADP + Pi (inorganic phosphorus)

The electrons used to help with this process, finally attach to O₂ (oxygen) to form H₂O

 The correct answer is :  ATP

Explanation:  The phosphorylation reaction is a type of metabolic reaction that results in the formation of (ATP) or (GTP) by the direct transfer and donation of a phosphoryl (PO3) group to (ADP) or (GDP) from a phosphorylated reactive intermediate. The breath is an ATP generating process in which an inorganic compound serves as the ultimate e-acceptor. O2 is delivered by blood flow.

part 1: the half-life of the element is 22 years.

part 2: it will take 132.02 year for the sample to decay from 308.0 g to 4.8125 g.

explanation:

part 1: there are two ways to determine the half life time.

first way: the half life time can be determined directly from its definition as it is the time required for the sample to decay to its half concentration.

from the data the initial concentration was 45.0 g and decayed to its half value (22.5 g) in 22.0 years.

second way: the radio active decay is considered first order reaction so we can use the laws of first order reactions.

k = (1/t) ln (a/a-x), where k is the rate constant of the reaction,

t is the time of the reaction

a is the initial concentration of the reactant

a-x is the remaining concentration at time (t)

a = 45.0 g the initial concentration at t = 0 year.

at t = 22 year, a-x = 22.5 g

then k = (1/22 year) ln (45.0 g/ 22.5 g) = 0.0315 year-1.

the half-life time (t1/2) = ln 2/ k = 0.693/ k =0.693/ 0.0315 = 22 years.

part 2:

using the same law k = (1/t) ln (a/a-x),

using the given data; a = 308.0 g and a-x = 4.8125 g and the calculated k from the part 1 (k = 0.0315 year-1)

t = (1/k) ln (a/a-x) = (1/0.0315) ln (308.0/ 4.8125) = 132.02 years

answers: to make sure that all of the broken pieces of tablet were added to the water, to allow for fair comparison of all three trials, with different particle sizes to avoid experimental error
