Answer:
Role of 
in Aerobic
Respiration
The respiration of
glucose starts with glycolysis in cytoplasm, followed by in Krebs' cycle and
finally Electron Transport Chain (ETC) in inner mitochondrial membrane. The requirement
of 0^ is at the end of ETC.
Where, it
acts as final hydrogen acceptor. is
responsible for removing electrons from the system. If oxygen is not available,
electrons could not be passed through the co-enzymes, in turn proton pump will
not be established and ATP will not be produced via oxidative phosphorylation.
Thus Oxygen play a critical role in aerobic respiration in mitochondrial matrix.
