Which complex receives reducing equivalents via FADH2 generated...

Which complex receives reducing equivalents via FADH2 generated during oxidation of succinate?

Options

  1. AComplex I
  2. BComplex II
  3. CComplex III
  4. DComplex IV

Correct answer

B. Complex II

Step-by-step solution

Electrons from NADH produced in the mitochondrial matrix during citric acid cycle are oxidized by an NADH dehydrogenase (complex I), and electrons are then transferred to ubiquinone located within the inner membrane. Ubiquinone also receives reducing equivalents via FADH2 (complex II) that is generated during oxidation of succinate in the citric acid cycle. The reduced ubiquinone (ubiquinol) is then oxidized with the transfer of electrons to cytochrome c via cytochrome bc 1 complex (complex III). Cytochrome c is a small protein attached to the outer surface of the inner membrane and acts as a mobile carrier for transfer of electrons between complex III and IV. Complex IV refers to cytochrome c oxidase complex containing cytochromes a and a3 , and two copper centres.
