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: -The products of the electron transport chain are NAD+, FAD, water, and ATP. As NADH and FADH2 donate electrons to protein complexes, the protons are also released from these molecules.

Detailed explanation-3: -Water is an essential end-product of the electron transport chain. The production of water in the electron transport chain contributes to the proton gradient across the mitochondrial membrane, which helps in the production of ATP.
