Aerobic Respiration: Oxygen As The Electron Acceptor
Oxygen is the final electron acceptor in aerobic respiration, a metabolic process that generates energy for cells. During aerobic respiration, electrons are transferred through a series of electron carriers, including NADH and FADH2, to the final electron acceptor, oxygen. The transfer of electrons from NADH and FADH2 to oxygen releases energy that is used to … Read more
