What is the electronegativity of the oxygen atom to that of the other molecules within the electron transport chain?

Oxygen has the second highest electronegativity of any element, second only to fluorine. Since it would be unusual to have fluorine in the electron transport chain, we can safely expect that oxygen will have the highest electronegativity in the chain.

What in the role of oxygen in the production of ATP?
Oxygen's RoleAt the end of the electron transport chain in the mitochondria, electrons are donated to oxygen (O2), which combines with hydrogen ions to form water. Without the O2 molecules to accept the electrons, the electron transport chain couldn't function.
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 molecule is not a product of the electron transport system?
FADH2 I'm working on the same test!
Does electron transport chain need oxygen?
Yes. Oxygen is the final electron acceptor of the electron transfer chain due to its high electronegativity.
Why is oxygen needed for the final step in cellular respiration?
Oxygen is the final electron acceptor. Oxygen, with it's great electronegativity, pulls electrons through the electron transport chain where these electrons provide the motive force to pump protons into the outer lumen of the mitochondria. When these protons fall down their concentration gradient oxygen is there to pick then up with the electrons and form water.
What molecules supply electrons to an electron transport chain?
Glucose. Glucose is oxidized and oxygen is reduced here.
What stage of cell respiration uses oxygen?
The oxygen molecules that you breathe are actually used in the last part of aerobic respiration. They are the final electron acceptors in electron transport chain.
Which of these molecules is not a product of the electron transport system a nad plus or b oxygen or c fad or d water?
The answer would be B) oxygen. In the electron transport chain, oxygen is a reactant. It reacts with 4 electrons and 4 hydrogens to form 2 water molecules. NAD plus is a product of NADH losing an electron. FAD is a product of FADH2 losing an electron. And water is a product of the preceding reaction that I gave.
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.
