Question

                    In the electron transport chain, electrons are passed from redox center to redox center .                 

                                                             
                                a.                                                                                                   with the assistance of a carrier protein                                                                                                                            
                                b.                                                                                                   in an ATP dependent fashion                                                                                                                            
                                c.                                                                                                   spontaneously due to the redox potential gradient                                                                                                                            
                                d.                                                                                                   as a result of the addition of free energy                                                                                                                            
                                e.                                                                                                   as a result of the proton gradient                                 

Explanation / Answer


spontaneously due to the redox potential gradient
