Correct answer

B. Cyt bc1→Cyt C→Cyt a→Cyt a3C_y t\ bc_1 \rightarrow C_y t\ C \rightarrow C_y t\ a \rightarrow C_y t\ a_3

Step-by-step solution

In the electron transport system (ETS), electrons are transferred from ubiquinol to cytochrome cc via the cytochrome bc1bc_1 complex (Complex III).

Cytochrome cc is a small protein attached to the outer surface of the inner mitochondrial membrane and acts as a mobile carrier for the transfer of electrons between Complex III and Complex IV.

Complex IV refers to the cytochrome cc oxidase complex containing cytochromes aa and a3a_3, along with two copper centers.

Thus, the correct sequence of electron transfer through the cytochromes is Cyt bc1→Cyt C→Cyt a→Cyt a3C_y t\ bc_1 \rightarrow C_y t\ C \rightarrow C_y t\ a \rightarrow C_y t\ a_3.

Answer: Cyt bc1→Cyt C→Cyt a→Cyt a3C_y t\ bc_1 \rightarrow C_y t\ C \rightarrow C_y t\ a \rightarrow C_y t\ a_3
