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?

Question: 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

[D].

None of the above

Answer: Option A
