Why do some redox reactions in cells result in the transfer of electrons from a reductant with a higher standard redox potential to an oxidant with a lower standard redox potential?
A:
Redox potentials are defined under standard conditions, and cellular conditions are typically not standard conditions
B:
The rules governing oxidation and reduction apply only in vitro, and not in vivo
C:
Electrons always go from reductants with high redox potentials to oxidants with low redox potentials
