Question

The final electron acceptor of the electron transport chain that functions in aerobic oxidative phosphorylation is The final electron acceptor of the electron transport chain that functions in aerobic oxidative phosphorylation is NAD . pyruvate. water. oxygen. ADP.

Answer 1

Answer:

The final electron acceptor of the electron transport chain is oxygen

Explanation:

Four electrons gotten from cytochrome c are involved in the conversion of a molecule of oxygen (O2) to two molecules of water (H2O). This final electron transfer occurs in complex IV. Complex IV, also known as cytochrome c oxidase, facilitates the the use of four protons from the matrix of the mitochondrion, in the production of water molecules while pumping four protons to the intermembrane space of the mitochondrion.
