During ETS, when ubiquinol is oxidized by the cytochrome complex, the electrons released are transferred to ____.
Options
- ACytochrome a
- BCytochrome
- CCytochrome C
- DMolecular oxygen
Correct answer
C. Cytochrome C
Step-by-step solution
In the mitochondrial electron transport system (ETS), ubiquinol is oxidized by the cytochrome complex (Complex III).
During this oxidation, the electrons are transferred to cytochrome c, which is a small mobile protein attached to the outer surface of the inner mitochondrial membrane.
Cytochrome c then acts as a mobile carrier to transfer these electrons between Complex III and Complex IV (cytochrome c oxidase complex, which contains cytochromes a and ).
Answer: Cytochrome C
