At the end of the ETC, oxygen gets reduced to water.  The electrons come from a molecule called "cytochrome c", and the enzyme responsible for transferring the electrons is called "cytochrome c oxidase".  The protons needed to make water come from the mitochondrial matrix.

Thanks for asking this question, I learned something too by looking it up. Slight Smile
