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.
Oxygen is need in electron transport chain.O2 acts as last electron acceptor.
Oxygen is the final acceptor of electrons in the electron transport chain (the last step in respiration).
For animals, the final hydrogen acceptr in cellular respiration is
O2 ADDED: Not O2, but one atom of oxygen.
Molecular Oxygen, otherwise known as O2.
OK the reactants of cellular respiration is obviously C6H12O6 which is glucose and O2. The product of cellular respiration is fairly simple as well, carbon dioxide, water, and ATP. hope that answers your question.
C6H12O6+6O2--->6CO2+6H2o+energy(ATP) Glucose Oxygen Carbon Water Dioxide -Only glucose and oxygen are needed for cellular respiration. -Carbon dioxide and water are by-products of cellular respiration.
For animals, the final hydrogen acceptr in cellular respiration is
O2 ADDED: Not O2, but one atom of oxygen.
Oxygen is required to live without it we die
Oxygen from the air is needed in the body for cellular respiration. Oxygen serves as the final electron receptor in the Electron Transport Chain, which produces ATP for the body to use as energy.
Cellular respiration requires both glucose and oxygen. Glucose provides the energy for the cell and oxygen is required to be the final electron acceptor so that aerobic respiration can happen. Other molecules can enter cellular respiration and be broken down, but glucose is considered the start of this process. Oxygen is also not required, but if it is not present, then fermentation will run and this process is not nearly as efficient as aerobic respiration.
Oxygen, in complex IV.
Oxygen serves as the final electron acceptor in the transport system.It is the only oxidized agent strong enough to do this. Without oxygen, cellular respiration could not occur.
aerobic
Oxygen is necessary for aerobic respiration only . It is not required in anaerobic respiration . Oxygen is final electron acceptor and it forms water at end of E.T.C.
In cellular respiration, oxygen gas is the most common final acceptor of the electrons. The hydrogens that go through the ATP synthase also link up with the oxygen so that water is produced.
It is the final electron receptor in the process of cellular respiration.
NADP in photosynthesis, and oxygen in cellular respiration.
