In respiratory electron transport chain cytochrome - a is reduced by oxidation of:
Correct answer: C. Cytochrome - C
- A. NADH
- B. FADH
- C. Cytochrome - C
- D. Coenzyme - Q
Explanation
Cytochrome-a is reduced by cytochrome c which is oxidized and electrons are used to reduced cytochrome a

About Bioenergetics
Cellular respiration explains how cells release energy from glucose through glycolysis, the link reaction, Krebs cycle and electron transport chain. It includes ATP production, substrate-level and oxidative phosphorylation, aerobic versus anaerobic respiration, and the roles of mitochondria, oxygen and fermentation in energy transfer.
