C. Human and Zebra are more closely related than Human and Chimpanzee
D. Human and Chimpanzee are more related than any other pair

D. Human and Chimpanzee are more related than any other pair

Explanation:

The image in this question shows a tabularized information on the amino acid sequence of hemoglobin protein in different species. This amino acid sequence can be used to deduce whether two or more species are closely related or not. The amino acid sequence of the hemoglobin of the different organisms are as follows:

- Human: Lys-Glu-His-Iso

- Horse: Arg-Lys-His-Lys

- Gorilla: Lys-Glu–His-Lys

- Chimpanzee: Lys-Glu-His-Iso

- Zebra: Arg-Lys-His-Arg

Based on the above sequences, it can be observed that the amino acid sequence of humans and chimpanzee are the same with little to no differences while other species that have similar sequences differ in one or two amino acids. This means that Human and Chimpanzee are more related than any other pair.

The correct answer is B. Electron transport.

The electron transport chain is the terminal step of aerobic respiration. It occurs on the inner membrane of the mitochondria. Reduced coenzymes NADH and FADH₂ are produced during glycolysis and Krebs cycle. When NADH and FADH₂ move along electron transport chains, high-energy electrons are released from NADH and FADH₂ produce ATP.  The final electron acceptor in the process is free oxygen. Each NADH produces 3 ATP and each FADH₂ produces 2 ATP. Therefore, a total of 32 ATP molecules are generated in electron transport. Therefore, the electron transport system releases a lots of energy for cheetah to run fast.
