During oxidative phosphorylation, electrons are transferred from electron donors to electron acceptors such as oxygen, in redox reactions. These redox reactions release energy, which is used to form ATP.In eukaryotes, these redox reactions are carried out by a series of protein complexes within the inner membrane of the cell's mitochondria, whereas, in prokaryotes, these proteins are located in the cells' intermembrane space.or another twenty years, the mechanism by which ATP is generated remained mysterious, with scientists searching for an elusive high-energy intermediate that would link oxidation and phosphorylation reactions. This puzzle was solved by Peter D. Mitchell with the publication of the chemiosmotic theory in 1961.
Giant Pacific Octopus. GIANT PACIFIC OCTOPUS (Enteroctopus dofleini) is the largest species of octopus in the world. It is found in the northern Pacific Ocean from the northwest coast of the continental United States to Japan, including Puget Sound. When fully extended from arm tip to arm tip, the Giant Pacific Octopus can measure an average of 16 feet long.
Considered the most intelligent of all invertebrates, the common octopus is found in the tropical and temperate waters of the worldâs oceans.They can grow to about 4.3 feet (1.3 meters) in length and weigh up to 22 pounds (10 kilograms), although averages are much smaller.onsidered the most intelligent of all invertebrates, the common octopus is found in the tropical and temperate waters of the worldâs oceans.
