Question

Which is the ultimate electron acceptor of respiration in an aerobic organism?

  1. Cytochrome
  2. Oxygen
  3. Hydrogen
  4. Glucose

hintHint:

  • The process by which an organism delivers oxygen to the cells or tissues needed for metabolism is known as respiration. It can be physical or chemical.
  • The series of metabolic processes called "cellular respiration" are used by cells to convert chemical energy from oxygen molecules.
  • A catabolic process called respiration reduces larger molecules to smaller ones and generates energy.

The correct answer is: Oxygen


    Oxygen is the ultimate electron acceptor of respiration in an aerobic organism.
    • As the final acceptor of respiration in aerobic organisms is oxygen, the electron transport chain catalyses the transfer of electrons from NADH to oxygen.
    • Since molecular oxygen has a significant oxidizing effect, it is a superior electron acceptor.
    • This produces water in the mitochondrial matrix.
