It releases H2O to the atmosphere during electron transport.
Explanation: In the electron transport chain (complex IV) O2 accepts electrons and protons to form H2O (metabolic water). (Glycolysis does generate a small amount of H2O in the enolase step, while acetyl‑CoA formation does not release H2O and the citric acid cycle actually uses a water molecule in the fumarase step.)
