  1. A A = coenzyme Q, B = cytochrome c
  2. B A = cytochrome c, B = coenzyme Q
  3. C A = Fe-Sprotein, B = FMN
  4. D A = FMN, B = Fe-S protein
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) A = coenzyme Q, B = cytochrome c

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(A) A = coenzyme Q, B = cytochrome c,
Coenzyme Q/ubiquinone (A) transfers electrons from complexes I and II to complex III, while cytochrome c (B) transfers electrons from complex III to complex IV in the electron transport chain.
