During aerobic cellular respiration, hydrogen ions combine with oxygen to form water. This reaction occurs in the electron transport chain, where oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor. The combination of hydrogen ions and oxygen is crucial for maintaining the proton gradient that drives ATP synthesis.
