Circulatory & respiratory system
The electron acceptor for humans in the electron transport chain is oxygen.
Oxygen consumed during cellular respiration is involved in the electron transport chain; it is the final electron acceptor (this is also what makes it either aerobic or anaerobic respiration).
The respiratory system, which includes the lungs and respiratory tract, is primarily responsible for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the air and blood. Oxygen is taken in through the lungs during breathing and transported to the cells in the body via the blood circulation.
Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide
The two parts of cellular respiration that require oxygen are the Krebs cycle (citric acid cycle) and the electron transport chain. Oxygen is the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, which is essential for the production of ATP.

The electron acceptor for humans in the electron transport chain is oxygen.
Iron found as part of hemoglobin which comprises most of each red blood cell (RBC).
Electron transport system
Platelets are involved in clotting, and red blood cells carry oxygen.
Hemoglobin assists in the transport of oxygen in vertebrates, including humans. It is a protein found in red blood cells that binds to the oxygen molecules in the lungs and carries them to tissues throughout the body.
Oxygen is transported to body cells in the form of oxyhemoglobin.
In humans, oxygen is transported in the blood primarily by binding to hemoglobin, a protein found in red blood cells. Each hemoglobin molecule can carry up to four oxygen molecules, allowing for efficient transport of oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues.
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.
