    Sequence of cytochromes is:

    A) \[cyt.\text{ }a,\text{ }b,\text{ }c,\text{ }{{a}_{3}}\]   

    B) \[~cyt.\text{ }b,\text{ }c,\text{ }a,\text{ }{{a}_{3}}\]

    C) \[~cyt.\text{ }b,\text{ }a,\text{ }{{a}_{3}},c\]  

    D) \[~cyt.\text{ }b,c,\,{{a}_{3}},a\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Cytochromes are proteins with characteristic strong absorption of visible light due to their iron-containing heme prosthatic groups. Mitochondria contain three classes of cytochromes designated  a,  b  and  c distinguished by differences in their light absorption spectra. The cytochrome of type a and b and some of type c are integral proteins of inner mitochondrial membrane. The sequence of electron carriers in ETS is: \[NADH\to Q\to Cyt.\,\]\[b\to Cyt.\]\[{{c}_{1}}\to Cyt.\,c\] \[\to Cyt.a\to Cyt.{{a}_{3}}\to {{O}_{2}}.\]
