Correct answer: B. Cytochrome a3
- A. Cytochrome a
- B. Cytochrome a3
- C. Cytochrome c1
- D. Cytochrome b
Explanation
The respiratory chain electron carrier that directly binds oxygen is cytochrome a3. Cytochrome a3 is the final electron carrier in the electron transport chain, and it is located in complex IV. When electrons are transferred to cytochrome a3, they are oxidized and combine with oxygen to form water.
