One carrier molecule in the electron transport chain called the flavoprotein can bypass the next carrier in the chain and transfer electrons directly to oxygen. This alternative pathway produces two high potent cellular toxins HYDROGEN PEROXIDE (H2O2) AND SUPEROXIDE RADICAL (O2-).
These toxins are the by products of the system.
We cannot control their production. For more details on how these are produced, we need to study the ETC.

Regarding the electron transport chain (ETC)...How many ATPs are produced from one NADH? From one FADH2? Where in the ETC (i.e. to which electron carrier) does each of these molecules donate its electrons?
The electron transport chain (ETC), or respiratory chain, is linked to proton movement and ATP synthesis. Select the statements that accurately describe the electron transport chain Choose all that apply. Electron transfer in the ETC is coupled to proton transfer from the matrix to the intermembrane space The outer membrane of mitochondria is readily permeable to small molecules and hydrogen ions. Prosthetic groups, such as iron-sulfur centers, are directly involved with electron transfer. Electron carriers in the ETC include ubiquinone...

Cellular respiration: The Electron Transport Chain The breakdown of glucose ends during the Krebs cydle; however, it is important to note that the energy previously contained in glucose is mostly stored in NADH and FADHz. In the last step of celular respiration, the high-energy electrons within NADH and FADH2 are passed within a set of proteins found in the inner membrane of the mitochondrion, collectively known as the electron transport chain. The electrons provide the energy to create ATP, which...
