    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: \[NAD{{H}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}FAD\xrightarrow{{}}Co-Q\xrightarrow{{}}\] \[Cytochrome-b\xrightarrow{{}}Cyt-{{c}_{1}}\xrightarrow{{}}Cyt-a\] \[\xrightarrow{{}}Cyt-{{a}_{3}}\xrightarrow{{}}{{O}_{2}}\] So, oxygen is the last electron acceptor in respiration.
