Aerobic respiration requires oxygen to operate (whereas anaerobic respiration does not), and oxygen is the electron acceptor.
In aerobic respiration it is oxygen.
NAD+ is the first electron acceptor in cellular respiration (O2 is the final acceptor).

The final electron acceptor in aerobic respiration is oxygen, which turns into H20.
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 molecular oxygen O2. With anaerobic respiration, the final electron acceptor is a molecule other than oxygen, such as an organic substance.
Because oxygen is the last electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, the electron transport chain makes aerobic respiration aerobic.
ATP
Oxygen, because it is highly electronegative.
Oxygen in aerobic respiration.
O2 ADDED: Not O2, but one atom of oxygen.
