Part A

Which statements about complex IV are true?

This complex catalyzes the reduction of oxygen to water.

Despite consuming protons, this complex pumps $H^{+}$across the membrane at a rate of $4$ per molecule of $O_2$ reduced.

Protons flow down the gradient to the inner membrane space.

Conformational changes as electrons flow through the complex heme centers alter the ability of some residues to bind protons.
