In the electron transport chain, the cytochrome where the terminal oxidation takes place is
Options
- ACyt b
- BCyt a 3
- Ccyt a
- DCyt c
Correct answer
B. Cyt a 3
Step-by-step solution
The energy within N A D H 2 and F A D H 2 are released by oxidizing them through an electron transport system. The system has four complexes via which the high energy electron is passed ultimately accepted by oxygen. Each complex has a set of pigments. The last complex, complex IV has the pigment cytochrome and a 3 where cyt a 3 is the last cytochrome in the ETS.
