Give explanation why the Oxidase test identifies the presence of cytochrome c oxidase and not the other electron carriers?

An oxidase test relies on a reagent that will change colors when it is oxidized. The reagent used in the test only reacts to cytochrome c oxidase by acting in place of oxygen to receive electrons from the cytochrome.

Where are you likely to find the enzyme cytochrome oxidases?
Cytochrome Oxidase are most likely to be found in mitochondria and important in cell respiration as an agent of electron transfer from certain cytochrome molecules to oxygen molecules
What is the role of the cytochrome complex in photosynthesis?
Cytochrome BF is a complex that is involved in the electron and H+ transportation in chloroplast. During the light dependent reaction in the chloroplast, cytochrome BF uses high energy electrons from the PSi PSii proteins to transport H+ across the Thylakoid membrane to be used later to synthesize ATP. Cytochrome BF is homologous to Cytochrome BC in Mitochondria, which is used in the electron transport chain in cell respiration.
What is the role of molecules such as nadh nadh and fadh in metabolic?
NADH and FADH are Coenzymes which act as carriers of electrons, protons, and energy in metabolism.
In eukaryotes the electron transport chain is composed of a series of electron carriers located in the what of the mitochondrion?
The electron carriers are located in the inner membrane of the mitochondrion. In the prokaryotes, the electron transport chain is located in the cell membrane.
What are fadh2 and nadh classified as?
Electron carriers??!
What is the sequence of electron carriers in the electron transport chain starting with the least electronegative?
NADH Dehydrogenase Ubiquinone Cytochrome b-c1 complex Cytochrome c Cytochrome oxidase complex
What are cytochrome carriers?
they are part of the electron transport chain and they are involved with the pumps that create the concentration gradient of H+

How does azide inhibit ETC?
Azide binds to cytochrome oxidase and inhibits electron transfer in the electron transport chain.
What occurs in a series of electron carriers?
The Electron Transport Chain

NADH and FADH are Coenzymes which act as carriers of electrons, protons, and energy in metabolism.
What electron move high energy between photosystems?
Electron Carriers.
In eukaryotes the electron transport chain is composed of a series of electron carriers located in the what of the mitochondrion?
The electron carriers are located in the inner membrane of the mitochondrion. In the prokaryotes, the electron transport chain is located in the cell membrane.
Name of high energy electron carriers in the electron transport chain?
NAD
What are fadh2 and nadh classified as?
Electron carriers??!
Do The Krebs cycle produces NAD electron carriers and carbon dioxide true or false?
false. it produces ATP, electron carriers and carbon dioxide.
