    Last electron acceptor in respiration is

    A)                   \[{{O}_{2}}\]                                   

    B)  \[{{H}_{2}}\]

    C)                  \[C{{O}_{2}}\]                                  

    D)  NADH

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    Electron transport chain takes place in inner mitochondrial membrane and consist of flavins, ubiquinone cytochromes and oxygen as electron carriers. Sequence of electron transport:  \[\begin{align}   & NAD{{H}_{2}}\to FAD\to Co-Q\to  \\  & Cytochrome-b\to Cyt-{{c}_{1}}\to CYt-a \\  & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\to Cyt-{{a}_{3}}\to {{O}_{2}} \\ \end{align}\] So, oxygen is the last electron acceptor in respiration.
