Yes it is in aerobic environments
Oxygen is the final electron acceptor of the electron transfer chain. Hydrogen ( protons ) come down their concentration gradient and through the ATP sythase making ATP. Then they, with the electrons oxygen accepts, become H2O.
Hydrogen ions are pumped across the mitochondria's inner membrane producing a concentration gradient
Yes. Aerobic respiration produces carbon dioxide and water. Also, oxygen is the terminal electron acceptor
Aerobes use oxygen as the final electron acceptor in electron transport phosphorylation. The process that yields a final product called lactate fermentation.
oxygen
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.
if it's in the Electron transport chain...then its the terminal electron acceptor
oxygen
No, it is the other way round:The terminal electron acceptor in aerobic respiration is oxygen. Together with H+ ions water molecules are formed. O2 + 4 e- + 4 H+ ==> 2 H2O
NAD+ is the first electron acceptor in cellular respiration (O2 is the final acceptor).
O2 ADDED: Not O2, but one atom of oxygen.
because in aerobic organisms uses oxygen as its terminal acceptor
Aerobic respiration requires oxygen to operate (whereas anaerobic respiration does not), and oxygen is the electron acceptor.
No, oxygen is the final electron acceptor of the electron transport chain.
Oxygen
Oxygen can be readily enters cells. They participate in a process called cellular respiration. It serves as the terminal electron acceptor in the electron transport system where the energy or ATP is produced.
