    Answer: 3

    Explanation:

    These are the 3 hydrogen ions that must carry the needed energy which ATPase must trap from, to synthesize 1 ATP molecule from the:

    Reaction of ADP with inorganic Phophate. ADP + Pi - 1ATP

    These hydrogen ions were delivered by NAD as NADH and as FADH, and striped and broken down to

    Protons/hydrogen ions and electrons.

    Oxygen is the final aceptor of electrons.
