CELL RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The oxygen consumed during cellular respiration is involved directly in which process
A
accepting electrons at the end of the electron transport chain
B
the oxidation of pyruvate to acetyl CoA
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Protons flow back into the matrix through an enzyme called ATP synthase, making ATP. At the end of the electron transport chain, oxygen accepts electrons and takes up protons to form water.

Detailed explanation-2: -The oxygen consumed during cellular respiration is involved directly in accepting electrons at the end of the electron transport chain. The electron transport chain is a series of redox reactions that take place in the mitochondrial membrane. Oxygen readily takes up electrons because it is an electronegative element.

Detailed explanation-3: -The oxygen consumed during cellular respiration is directly involved in. glycolysis.

Detailed explanation-4: -How is oxygen used in cellular respiration? Oxygen is used as the end electron acceptor for the electron transport chain in cellular respiration. It allows electrons to be transferred through the electron transport chain in order to create an electrochemical gradient for hydrogen to create ATP.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
