6. | phosphate |
The electron transport chain (ETC) is the major consumer of O2 in mammalian cells. The ETC passes electrons from NADH and FADH2 to protein complexes and mobile electron carriers. Coenzyme Q (CoQ) and cytochrome c (Cyt c) are mobile electron carriers in the ETC, and O2 is the final electron recipient.
Some compounds like succinate, which have more positive redox potential than NAD+/NADH can transfer electrons via a different complex—complex II. Coenzyme Q, or simply Q, can travel within membrane while Cyt C is a soluble protein. Flavoproteins are components of complexes I and II and Fe-S is present in complexes I, II, and III. The Fe atom present in Fe-S complexes helps in electron transfer by shifting from Fe2+ to Fe3+ states.
IF SINGLE OPTION IS ONLY CORRECT THEN CHOOSE CYTOCHROME C IF MULTIPLE ARE CORRECT THEN GO FOR CYTOCHROME C AND Fe-S CLUSTER
