It is true.

The respiratory system consists of all the organs involved in breathing. These include the nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi and lungs.

Upon inhalation Air must first pass through the larynx and down to the trachea, which then splits off into two separate bronchial tubes, the bronchial tubes divide into smaller air passages known as the bronchi and those into even smaller bronchioles. The bronchioles end in tiny sacs called the alveoli which transfer the oxygen from the inhaled air to the bloodstream.

Which is the final electron receptor in the electron transport system of cellular respiration
Zepler [3.9K]

Oxygen is the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, which allows for oxidative phosphorylation. Without oxygen, the electrons will be backed up, eventually causing the electron transport chain to halt.
