Solution

The correct option is C electron transport
Cytochromes help in electron transport.
Cytochromes are electron transferring proteins often regarded as enzymes. They contain iron porphyrin or copper porphyrin as prosthetic groups. They are a part of the electron transport chain in mitochondria. They carry electrons during cellular respiration.
Cytochromes do not help in the synthesis of glucose, release of energy and growth.
