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.
Why do organisms need a final electron acceptor?
A final electron acceptor that is a stronger oxidizing agent than the last oxidizing agent in the electron transport chain is needed to remove low-energy electrons from the chain so that new high energy electrons can enter the chain to generate more ATPs. Without a final electron acceptor the electron transport chain will be backed up with low energy electrons and eventually no ATP can be generated since no new electron can enter the chain.
What is the final destination of oxygen within your cells?
Oxygen is the last electron acceptor. Oxygen is converted to water when the it meets with hydrogen ions.
What element has the electron configuration 1s2 2s2 sp6 3s2 3p2?
well, it depends on how many electrons are there in the last orbital P....it can be any element from Aluminum to Argon (look at the periodic table)
What group does argon belong to on the periodic table?
Argon (Ar, element number 18) is the last element in the third period of the periodic table.
Argon is the last element in the period.What does this tell you in about argon?
Argon, like all of the "noble" gases, has a full electron shell.

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.
Which molecule could be termed the final resting place last molecule to be reduced final electron acceptor of the electrons donated by nadh and fadh2 to the etc?
oxygen

What are five compounds argon is in?
Short answer: It doesn't have that many; it's a noble gas. Long answer: Argon fluorohydride, HArF, has tentative stability under -233 Celsius. A few Van der Waals molecules containing argon are known (Ar2, H2-Ar, C6H6-Ar), and the fullerene (Ar@C60) is known--but the last four are not true "compounds". Argon is a noble gas, having 8 electrons in its outer electron shell, so other atoms have to force that shell to expand for any compounds to form. So, only extreme conditions with the strongest electron-drawing element in existence can crack argon.

Why is argon the last element in its period?
The reason Argon is the last element in its period is that it has the highest atomic number in its period, and that's the way all periods are arranged.
Can the element argon form compounds with fluorine?
Argon is extremely stable. In the last 10 years a compound of argon HArF has been reported - University of Helsinki.

well, it depends on how many electrons are there in the last orbital P....it can be any element from Aluminum to Argon (look at the periodic table)
What compound is formed when the electron combines with the last electron?
atp
Why is argon the last element?
It is because it usually does not combine with any elements
