The process which combines hydrogen ions and electrons from the coenzymes with oxygen to form water is called

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This process is known as the electron transport chain, which occurs in the mitochondria of cells. Electrons are transferred from coenzymes (NADH and FADH2) to a series of protein complexes, ultimately being accepted by oxygen to form water. This process generates a proton gradient which is used to drive ATP synthesis. Therefore, it is not reduction, fermentation, oxidation, or decomposition.
