'Oxidative phosphorylation requires the movement of electrons along the electron transport chain coupled to the pumping of protons into the intermembrane space: What is the final result of these electron transfers? OH- is oxidized to 02 pyruvate is oxidized to CO2 is converted to Hz 02 is reduced to HzO'
