Which is a product of the ETC?
A
Carbon dioxide
B
Glucose
C
Oxygen
D
Water
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The end products of the ETC or electron transport chain are the formation of ATP, NAD+, FAD, water, and protons. ETC works as a proton pump since it pumps hydrogen ions or protons through the membrane, and only allows ATP synthase for the formation of ATP.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nonetheless, the main function of the electron transport system is to create ATP to be used by the cell. Therefore, water is in fact a byproduct of the process-which means there is not enough water produced to sustain the organism.

Detailed explanation-3: -In the light-dependent reactions, light energy and water are used to make ATP, NADPH, and oxygen (O2). The proton gradient used to make the ATP forms via an electron transport chain.
