∙ 15y agofinal electron acceptor gets reduced when it accepts an electron.In case of aerobic respiration oxygen is the final electron acceptor and it get reduced to water. in anaerobic respiration nitrate,sulphate reduced to niytrite and hydrogen sulphide respectivlely.

What accepts the electrons at the end of the electron transport chain?
The answer is cloroplasts.
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 the final electron acceptor at the end of the cellular respiration transport chain?
The answer to your question is oxygen. It accepts those electrons and is converted to water. The carbon dioxide you exhale comes from the food that you eat.
What atom accepts electrons at the of the electron transport chain?
The very electronegative oxygen atom.
What is the definition of final electron acceptor?
An electron acceptor is a molecule or atom that can be reduced by gained an electron from something else. It is also called an electrophile or an oxidizing agent. Common strong electron acceptors are O2, Cl2, Br2, MnO42-, PbO2, Co3+, Cr2O72-, H2O2. In a table of standard redox potential, they are the species with the most positive reduction potentials.The Lewis definition of bases is described in terms of electron acceptors and donors. A electron pair acceptor is an acid, and an electron pair donor is a base.See the Web Links and Related Questions links to the left for more information.

Why is oxygen needed to produce ATP on the cristae of mitochondrion?
1)ATP formed as electrons pass along transport chain 2)oxygen is terminal electron acceptor / accepts electrons from electron transport chain 3)electrons cannot be passed along electron transport chain if no O2 to accept them 4)forms H2O / accepts H+ from reduced NAD/FAD / oxidises reduced NAD/FAD
Does oxygen give its electrons away?
No, oxygen is a strong electron acceptor and accepts two electrons into it's valance shell to complete it's octet.
What molecule is the final electron acceptor at the end of the cellular respiration transport chain?
The answer to your question is oxygen. It accepts those electrons and is converted to water. The carbon dioxide you exhale comes from the food that you eat.
What happens to electrons in the electron chain?
Oxygen (O2) is the electron acceptor in the Electron Transport Chain. "The electrons are passed to O2, the final electron acceptor of the electron transport system. This oxygen, now negatively charged because it has acquired additional electrons, combines with H+ ions, which are positively charged because they donated electrons at the beginning of the electron transport system, to form H2O." (Sherwood 36) References: Sherwood, Lauralee. Human Physiology: from Cells to Systems. 7th ed. Australia: Brooks/Cole, Cengage Learning, 2010. Print.
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.
What atom accepts electrons at the of the electron transport chain?
The very electronegative oxygen atom.
Which of the electron transport chain protein complexes accepts electrons from FADH2?
Complex 2 (succinate dehydrogenase)
What serves as a terminal electron acceptor in mitochondria?
Oxygen accepts 2 electrons from FADH or NADH (electron transporters) after they go the the electron transport chain along with 2 protons to form water. This whole process is also known as Oxidative Phosphorylation if you want to impress your teacher or convince your parents you've been studying
Is salt an electron acceptor?
Table 'Salt' is NaCl Sodium Chloride and is not a proton donor has it has no hydrogen to donate
What charge is on acceptor atom?
If I understand it right, an acceptor atom is that one which accepts the electrons, then it has positive charge and thus it is able to attract the negatively charged electrons.
