Which of the following is a characteristic of the binuclear centre of Complex IV?
A)Fe-S is a component.
B)Water is needed here.
C)Cyt c is a component.
D)Two electrons are transferred to bound O₂.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The binuclear centre of Complex IV (cytochrome c oxidase) is responsible for the transfer of two electrons to bound molecular oxygen (O₂) to form water. Therefore, choice D is the correct characteristic of the binuclear centre. Choice A is not specific to Complex IV, as Fe-S is a component found in many electron transport chain complexes. Choice B is not a characteristic of Complex IV, as water is not involved in the electron transfer process at this site. Choice C is a component of Complex III, not Complex IV.
