Which complex mediates the transfer of electrons from a membrane-soluble carrier to a water-soluble carrier in the ETC?

Consider the following C implementation of a hash table: #include#define HASH_SIZE 10struct bucket {    char* string;    struct bucket* next;};typedef struct bucket Bucket;Bucket table[HASH_SIZE];//hash table… unsigned hash(char* key) {    unsigned val = 0;    while (*key)        val = *(key++) + 2 * val;    return val % HASH_SIZE;}void init() {//initialize the buckets of my hash table…    int i;    for (i = 0; i < HASH_SIZE;i++)        table[i].string = NULL;}void printHashTable() {    int i = 0;    Bucket* iterator;    for (; i < HASH_SIZE; i++)        if (table[i].string) {//not an empty bucket            iterator = &table[i];//head of linked list            while (iterator) {                printf("%s\n", iterator->string);                iterator = iterator->next;//advances the iterator…            }        }}int insert(char* word) {    if (search(word))        return 0;//duplicate value, do not add it to the hash table!    unsigned index = hash(word);    if (table[index].string == NULL) {//empty bucket        table[index].string = (char*)malloc(strlen(word) + 1);        strcpy(table[index].string, word);        table[index].next = NULL;        return 1;//successful insert    }    char* currentHeadOfLinkedList = table[index].next;    table[index].next = (Bucket*)malloc(sizeof(Bucket));    table[index].next->string = (char*)malloc(strlen(word) + 1);    strcpy(table[index].next->string, word);    table[index].next->next = currentHeadOfLinkedList;    return 1;}int search(char* word) {//returns 1 if successful and 0 if not    int i = hash(word);    Bucket* iterator;//link list iterator…    if (table[i].string) {//not an empty bucket        iterator = table + i;//head of linked list        while (iterator) {            if (!strcmp(iterator->string, word))//matched                return 1;            iterator = iterator->next;        }    }    return 0;//unsuccessful search} Also, assume that the following main function uses the hash table to store some strings: main() {    int i;    init();    char* strings[] = { “AB”, “CD”, “EF”, “GH”, “CD” };    for (i = 0; i < 5;i++)        insert(strings[i]);    printHashTable();} Answer the following questions: (10 points) Find the hash value of every member of the strings array. The hash value is calculated and returned by the hash function (Hint: ASCII values of letters A, B, C, ... are 65, 66, 67, etc.) (10 points) What's the output of the given C program.

The conversion of one molecule of pyruvate to three molecules of CO 2 via pyruvate dehydrogenase and the citric acid cycle also yields _____ molecules of NADH, _____ molecule(s) of FADH 2 , and _____ molecule(s) of ATP (or GTP).

The inhibitor of the rate-limiting step in the citric acid cycle is:

Consider a muscle cell with a mutation in Complex I of the ETC resulting in its complete inactivation. How many ATP molecules will this mutated cell produce per glucose molecule fully oxidized?

The standard reduction potentials ( E’ °) for the half reactions are given ​ Fumarate + 2H++ 2e– → succinate E’° = +0.031 V FAD + 2H+ + 2e– → FADH2 E’° = –0.219 V ​ If succinate, fumarate, FAD, and FADH2 , all at 1 m concentrations, were mixed together in the presence of succinate dehydrogenase, what would happen initially?

Choose the wrong statement concerning the ATPase binding-change mechanism.

Predict the output of the following C program: #includeunion u {    struct{        char a, b, c;    }s;    char string[10];} element;main() {    strcpy(element.string, “Hello!”);// copies one string into another    element.s.b = ‘i’;    element.s.c = ‘?’;    printf(“%.3s, %c”, element.string, element.s.a);}

Suppose you discovered a mutant yeast whose glycolytic pathway was shorter because of the presence of a new enzyme catalyzing the reaction glyceraldehyde 3‑phosphate + H2O + NAD+ ⟶ NADH + H+ + 3‑phosphoglycerate Which of the following would you expect to find in the growth metabolism of the mutant yeast?

Which of the following is not observed in mammalian cells undergoing citric acid cycle?
