Detailed explanation-1: -Electron Transport System generates 32 or 34 ATP molecules and is the cell’s main source of energy. Thus, the electron transport system produces the most ATP in cellular respiration.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Oxygen is required in the cellular respiration in the electron transporter chain. It serves as the final electron acceptor of the electron transport chain facilitating the movement of electrons down the chain hence producing the ATP or adenosine triphosphate.
