Oxygen is known as the "terminal electron receptor" in the electron transport chain. Suppose an organism lacks the ability to breathe in oxygen.What is the most likely effect an oxygen deficit would have on the electron transport chain in mitochondria?
Without a terminal electron acceptor, the electrons of and would have nowhere to be released, and all of the enzyme complexes involved with the electron transport chain would be "saturated" with electrons and the entire electron transport chain would cease to function, halting production of ATP. To which component of the electron transport chain does cyanide bind?

What structure do the mitochondria have?
A mitochondria is the organism's so called energy maker. So the mitochondria supplies energy for the organism
What does an organism take from the environment during aerobic respiration?
An organism takes in oxygen during aerobic respiration.
Why is it advisable to include an oxidase-positive control organism in any test of an unknown organism?
It's advisable so that the oxidase test determines whether or not an organism has cytochrome oxidase in its electron transport chain.
What is the function of oxygen in aerobic repsiration?
Oxygen serves as an electron acceptor. When food is completely metabolised in the organism, it is decomposed to electrons, protons and CO2. The electrons are carried by NADH to mitochondria, to electron-transport chain. At the end of the electron transport chain, oxygen receives electrons, thus providing for maximal yield of energy carried by those electrons (in the electron-transport chain, they are used for pumping protons across the mitochondrial membrane, thus proton gradient which empowers ATPase, is maintained). At last, the ATPase enzyme produces ATP, the usable form of energy.

In which organism does respiration not take place in the mitochondria?
Respiration does not take place in the mitochondria of bacteria.
How organism get energy?
They by energy by Cellular respiration in the mitochondria .
Why does electron transport shut down if oxygen is not available?
Oxygen is the last electron acceptor in the electron transport chain of aerobic cellular respiration. During the process, it combines with the transported electrons and hydrogen ions, forming water as a waste product, which is then removed from the electron transport chain. In order to keep the electron transport chain going, a new oxygen molecule takes the place of the "used" oxygen, and will eventually also combine with electrons and hydrogen ions, and it continues like this as long as the organism lives. Without oxygen, the electron transport chain would stop due to the fact that the transported electrons and hydrogen ions would have nowhere to go, so the transport chain can no longer function, terminating the production of ATP.
