The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "ETS is inhibited at complex -III by:", we need to analyze the options provided and understand the role of each inhibitor in the electron transport system (ETS). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Electron Transport System (ETS)**: - The ETS is a series of protein complexes located in the inner mitochondrial membrane that facilitate the transfer of electrons derived from NADH and FADH2 to oxygen, ultimately producing ATP. 2. **Identify the Complexes**: - The ETS consists of several complexes (Complex I, II, III, and IV) and ATP synthase. Each complex has a specific role in the electron transport process. 3. **Review the Options**: - The options given are: - A) Cyanide - B) Rotenone - C) Antimycin - D) Oligomycin 4. **Determine the Inhibitors**: - **Cyanide**: Inhibits Complex IV (cytochrome c oxidase). - **Rotenone**: Inhibits Complex I (NADH dehydrogenase). - **Antimycin**: Inhibits Complex III (cytochrome b-c1 complex). - **Oligomycin**: Inhibits ATP synthase. 5. **Identify the Correct Answer**: - Since the question specifically asks for the inhibitor of Complex III, the correct answer is **Antimycin**. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is **C) Antimycin**.
