The O2 is reduced to water. Reduction is electron gain.

ATP is not made in the electron transport chain.

The ETC creates a transmembrane proton gradient.  F1F0-ATPase (AKA ATP synthase) uses this gradient to synthesize ATP.

O2 is reduced to water in the ETC by cytochrome c (catalyzed by cytrochrome c oxioreductase, AKA complex IV)
