Question
Which of the following reduces oxygen to water?
Explanation
Cytochrome c oxidase, Complex IV of electron transport chain, catalyzes four-electron reduction of molecular oxygen to two water molecules using electrons from cytochrome c. This reaction drives proton pumping across inner mitochondrial membrane, contributing to electrochemical gradient for ATP synthesis via respiration.
