Which of the following steps in normal cellular respiration ends with formation of water?
A) glycolysis
B) citric acid cycle
C) electron transport
D) fermentation

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The electron transport chain is the step in cellular respiration that ultimately leads to the formation of water. During this step, oxygen molecules are used as the final electron acceptor, and when they combine with hydrogen ions (protons) from the electron transport chain, they form water. The other steps listed - glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and fermentation - do not directly result in the formation of water.
