Where and how is water formed during aerobic respiration?

Answer 1

During the kreb's cycle, hydrogen ions are removed from the different carbon containing compounds. Electron are also removed which are eventually received by oxygen.
After the hydrogen rushes through the stalked particle to form the ATP, the oxygen with the electrons both combine with these hydrogen ions, all forming water.

Water is created as a byproduct of the electron transport chain in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells during aerobic respiration. Specifically, water is created during the last stage of oxidative phosphorylation, which is catalyzed by the enzyme cytochrome c oxidase and involves the transfer of electrons from NADH and FADH2 to oxygen molecules, which subsequently combine with protons (H+) to form water (H2O).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
