The ultimate electron acceptor of respiration in an aerobic organism isA. cytochromeB. oxygenC. hydrogenD. glucose |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - b The electron transport chain catalyses an electron flow from `NADH (FADH_(2))` to oxygen, which is the final electron acceptor of the respiratory process. It produces water in the mitochondrial matrix. `NADH + H^(+) hArr NAD^(+) + 2H^(+) + 2e^(-)` `FADH_(2) hArr FAD + 2H^(+) + 2e^(-)` `(1)/(2)O_(2) + 2H^(+) + 2e^(-) rarr H_(2)O` |
