Question
Chapter 8.3, Problem 23CYP
Summary Introduction
To discuss:
The reaction between electrons, H+, and oxygen at the final step of electron transport.
Introduction:
In the terminal step of electron transport chain, electron carriers are reduced during glycolysis and the citric acid cycle to NADH + H+ and FADH2. These carriers then donate electrons and protons to the electron carrier proteins of the electron transport chain. The final electron acceptor is oxygen. Together with oxygen, electrons and protons form molecules of water.
