← ScienceWhich mechanism enables electron transport chains within cytochrome oxidase?
A)Quantum tunneling through the potential barrier✓
B)Brownian motion through a static gradient
C)Debye scattering diminishes momentum magnitude
D)Phonon transport assisting resonant transport
💡 Explanation
Quantum tunneling facilitates cytochrome oxidase electron transport because electrons can pass through energy barriers rather than requiring sufficient energy to overcome them. Therefore, electrons jump across the molecule rather than requiring classical passage because of its high effective width.
