Answer to Question #57642 in Cell Biology for Franky

Question

mitochondria, cytochrome b begins to absorb light, but a an c do not. Finally, purified cytochrome c, even in the presence of oxygen, continues to absorb light. Use these observation to decide the order in which the cytochromes occur in the mitochondrial electron transport system. Explain your reasoning for your determined order. Why is it important that the cytochrome c be purified in the last observation
While cytochromes are real moieties and you will find an abundance of information about them in your text and via the web, it is critical that you realize that the data for solving this assignment is imbedded in the question. This question contains the data you need to answer the question. If you read the book or look at online resources and rely on the order provided there you could be mistaken. The data is in the question, you need to interpret the data, and make inferences based upon that data.
