Which statements about complex IV are true?
1. This complex catalyzes the reduction of oxygen to water.
2. Despite consuming protons, this complex pumps H+ across the membrane at a rate
of 4 per molecule of O2 reduced.
3. Protons flow down the gradient to the inner membrane space.
4. Conformational changes as electrons flow through the complex heme centers alter
the ability of some residues to bind protons. - CORRECT ANSWER-1, 2, and 4
