Question
In mitochondria, which complex does not pump protons?
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Complex II (succinate dehydrogenase) transfers electrons from FADH2 to ubiquinone but does not span the inner membrane in a way that allows it to pump protons. Complexes I, III, and IV are proton pumps.
Hint
This complex is also part of the Krebs cycle.
