During aerobic respiration the final electron acceptor is
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is D Oxygen
- ATP is produced during the process of oxidative phosphorylation in the mitochondria which is a part of aerobic respiration.
- The electron transport chain plays an important role in this process. The electrons move through a series of electron donors and carriers that lead to the formation of a potential gradient.
- This gradient helps in ATP synthesis. During this process, oxygen is reduced by the hydrogen from NADH and it finally accepts the electron in the chain.
- Thus it is the terminal electron acceptor that results in the formation of water molecules.
Thus the correct answer is option D.
