What happens to the electron transport chain if oxygen is lacking?

The organism dies as no energy for even the simplest things, such as respiration and brain command, is available. Only in muscle cells can the organism switch to glycolysis for ATP production. The brain cells can not preform glycolysis.

The final electron acceptor of the electron transport chain that functions in oxidative phosphorylation is?
Oxygen is the final exceptor
What is the final acceptor of electrons and hydrogens in the electron transport chain?
oxygen
Does the hydrogen serve as the final electron acceptor of the electron transport chain?
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.
What accepts the electrons at the end of the electron transport chain?
The answer is cloroplasts.
What participant in the electron transport chain has the greatest attraction for electrons?
Oxygen
What happens when oxygen is present and includes glycolysis and Krebs cylcle and Electron transport?
Cellular Respiration.
What is the ultimate electron acceptor in aerobic respiration?
oxygen
How can you justify the disappearance of oxygen as a measure of electron transport?
In the electron transport chain Oxygen is the final electron acceptor. Also the Oxygen accepts 2 Hydrogen ions, making water in the process. The dissapearance of Oxygen shows that the electron transport chain is working and that Oxygen is doing its job.
The final acceptor of electrons in the electron transport chain is?
oxygen
What is the final electron acceptor of the electron transport train?
Oxygen
Does hydrogen serve as the final electron acceptor of the electron transport chain?
No, oxygen is the final electron acceptor of the electron transport chain.
What are the electron acceptors in the electron transport chain?
The final electron acceptor is oxygen.
When oxygen is not present?
there is no oxygen present in the electron transport system.
When oxygen not present?
there is no oxygen present in the electron transport system.
Why is oxygen necessarly for cellular respiration?
Oxygen is the last electron acceptor in the electron transport chain.
Which is not present in oxygen?
Electron Transport Chain
Is oxygen present in aerobic respiration?
Yes. Oxygen is the last electron acceptor in the electron transport chain.
