oxygen
False
Oxygen is the last electron acceptor in the electron transport chain.
O2 ADDED: Not O2, but one atom of oxygen.
Yes. Oxygen is the last electron acceptor in the electron transport chain.
Oxygen, because it is highly electronegative.
Aerobic respiration - final electron acceptor is oxygen (O) Anaerobic respiration - final electron acceptor can besulfate (SO42-), nitrate (NO3-), sulfur (S), or fumarate....
In aerobic respiration, the final electron acceptor is (usually) oxygen. Sometimes it can be sulfur or nitrogen in the absence of oxygen (as in extreme environments) in extremophiles.

When electrons leave the electron transport chain in cellular respiration and bind to the final electron acceptor (such as oxygen), water is produced as a byproduct. This process is essential for the creation of energy in the form of ATP.
Oxygen is considered the ultimate electron acceptor in aerobic respiration. It accepts electrons at the end of the electron transport chain, forming water as a byproduct.
The primary role of oxygen in cellular respiration is in the electron transport chain, specifically at the end of the chain where oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor. This process generates a proton gradient that drives ATP production.
The electron acceptor for humans in the electron transport chain is oxygen.
