It is used as the final electron acceptor in the electron transfer chain. It takes the electron from NADH reducing it back to NAD+ allowing it to be reused in the electron transfer chain producing H2O.
Without it the process would stop and the organism would very very quickly run out of energy to survive
What else can I help you with?
What are the vital functions of a cell?
I think that the main function is to manage oxygen from the blood stream.
Are red blood cells the main blood Cell?
Yes, since they carry oxygen through the bloodstream, which is vital.
Where is oxygen needed in a cell?
Oxygen is needed in the mitochondria of a cell for aerobic respiration, the process that produces ATP (energy) for the cell. Oxygen is the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, allowing for the production of ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.
Name one substance that a red blood cell carries?
Red blood cells carry oxygen to all areas of the body. Oxygen is vital to all of the body's organs and functions.
Is oxygen toic?
Oxygen is extremely toxic and reactive. It is also vital to animal life, and animals are made so that they can breathe oxygen and send it in tiny amounts to every cell in the body without burning up their tissue.
What vital function does oxygen serve in the human body?
The vital function that oxygen serves in the human body is respiration. Oxygen is needed for the lungs to function and for the proper functioning of other vital organs such as the heart and brain.
What cell membrane does in the cell?
It allows in things that are vital to carry on life in the cell.
Which product of photosynthesis is vital for animals?
oxygen.
A vital element is?
oxygen or maby carbon
What is the vital part of cell?
the nucleus
What does a cell membrane do for the cell?
The cell membrane controls what enters and leaves the cell, allowing the cell to absorb the oxygen and nutrients it needs to function. It also protects the cell from most dangerous chemicals. The cell membrane is vital because the cell needs to be able to control its oxygen and carbon dioxide levels.
Function of a red blood cell is?
The main function of a red blood cell is to transport oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues and organs, and to carry carbon dioxide back to the lungs to be exhaled. This process is vital for sustaining life and providing cells with the oxygen they need to produce energy.
