usually associated with the inner membrane of the mitochondria
Because the electron carrier molecules, such as the cytochromes, are located in the cristae.
One difference is that ubiquinones are lipid-soluble molecules that shuttle electrons in the electron transport chain between complexes while cytochromes are protein molecules with heme groups that also participate in electron transfer. Additionally, ubiquinones are often found embedded in the mitochondrial inner membrane, whereas cytochromes are typically soluble proteins found within the mitochondrial matrix or associated with the inner membrane.
One major class are known as the Cytochromes.
There are several different cytochromes with diverse absorption spectra. Typically, c-type cytochromes have a prominent band peak at about 550 nm, b-type cytochromes at around 558-560 nm, and a type cytochromes out around 605 nm. There are other bands that every cytochrome has, but these regions (the so-called alpha absorption bands) are the best to distinguish the substance under study.
Cytochromes are involved in electron transport chain, specifically in the complexes III and IV stages of cellular respiration. In complex III, cytochrome b and cytochrome c are key components, while in complex IV, cytochrome c oxidase plays a crucial role in the final transfer of electrons to oxygen.

iron. thanks for this quick answer.
such as: - Transferrin, Carbonic anhydrase, serum albumin, cytochromes
FAD (flavin adenine dinucleotide) is classified as a coenzyme, while cytochromes are classified as heme proteins. Both play important roles in electron transport within cells.

Mitochondria use a membrane-bound system containing cytochromes to produce ATP through oxidative phosphorylation. This process involves a series of electron transport chain reactions where cytochromes transfer electrons, generating a proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane that drives ATP synthesis by ATP synthase.

ATP synthase couples chemiosmosis to energy storage.
A prosthetic group is an area of a protein or protein complex that can be reduced and oxidized. Flavoproteins and Cytochromes are two examples of complexes with prosthetic groups.
