During the electron transport system (ETS) in mitochondria, which of the following enzyme complexes contains cytochromes a and a₃ along with two copper centres?
Options
- ANADH dehydrogenase
- BCytochrome bc₁ complex
- CCytochrome c oxidase
- DATP synthase
Correct answer
C. Cytochrome c oxidase
Step-by-step solution
The electron transport system in mitochondria consists of several enzyme complexes. Complex I is NADH dehydrogenase. Complex II is succinate dehydrogenase. Complex III is cytochrome bc₁ complex. Complex IV is cytochrome c oxidase, which contains cytochromes a and a₃ , along with two copper centres. Complex V is ATP synthase. Answer: Cytochrome c oxidase
