Sergio039 [100]

The answer is water. This occurs through the following reaction. During this oxidative reaction of NADH by O2, the energy expended is used to synthesize ATP from ADP and Pi. Because NADH generated in the cytosol cannot enter the mitochondrion, electrons and protons from NADH are transferred in by an electron shuttle system.
