Question

What is Respirasome?

(a) The supramolecular complex of complex I, II, and III

(b) Respiratory center of the body

(c) Complex III and IV of the electron transport chain

(d) The intermediate complex formed during oxidative phosphorylation

I got this question in class test.

Question is from Respiration in section Bioenergetics and Metabolism of Life Sciences

Answer 1

Right option is (a) The supramolecular complex of complex I, II, and III

The best I can explain: Repirasome is the supramolecular complex formed by the complex I, II, and III of electron transport chain. This supramolecular complex consists of complexes along with their prosthetic groups, only complex IV would not take part in the formation of respirasome.
