The following question came from the Mastering Biology homework. Which one of the following statements about the redox reactions of the electron transport chain is correct?(a) The oxidation of NADH is directly coupled to the reduction of oxygen to water.(b) The electron transport chain takes electrons from water and gives them to oxygen.(c) The redox reactions of the electron transport chain are directly coupled to the movement of protons across a membrane.(d) NADH gains electrons in the initial reaction of the electron transport chain.(e) The redox reactions of the electron transport chain are directly coupled with the synthesis of ATP. Explain why (e) is incorrect.  (Note: Merely stating the negative of the answer choice will not earn points as you must adequately explain/defend your answer to demonstrate that you truly understand the material.)
