The final electron acceptor of aerobic respiration is
|
|
oxygen
|
|
|
water
|
|
|
carbon dioxide
|
|
|
NAD+
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Oxygen is the final electron acceptor in this respiratory cascade, and its reduction to water is used as a vehicle by which to clear the mitochondrial chain of low-energy, spent electrons. The enzyme that catalyzes this process, cytochrome oxidase, spans the mitochondrial membrane.
Detailed explanation-2: -The final electron acceptor in aerobic respiration is oxygen.
Detailed explanation-3: -In cellular respiration, oxygen is the final electron acceptor. Oxygen accepts the electrons after they have passed through the electron transport chain and ATPase, the enzyme responsible for creating high-energy ATP molecules.
